The title says 8gb memory, it's 16gb

Edit, your original specs were wrong then
Fixed, tx Ogio.

Is it 2023 now? Come on, still 8 gb ram? I know some people will argue it works for most of their needs. Maybe, but I think if you really want to limit your scope of usage of this pricey laptop, now and in the future, go for it.

There are 🤡 here...had one argue that's it's better to buy 799 @8gb model than 999. @ 16gb from microcenter

256gb ssd/8gb ram for $1000 in 2023.

yikes.

the other week, dell had a refurb intel i7/512gb ssd/16gb ram laptop WITH A TOUCHSCREEN for $250. granted, we don't have a time machine, but you're paying FOUR times as much for HALF the specs.

but hey, if you got money fallin' out of yer pockets when you walk down the street, more power to ya!

Yep also the battery life is not even in the same class. I'm a big pc guy but when pc laptops only last 3-4 hours it's a pita and inferior build quality

Bought one in January from BB, my first MacBook. No complaints at the moment.
Used it for mainly college and studying programming.
Battery is insanely good, only charged it a total of three times thus far.

I haven't had any issues with slowness on my M1 with 8GB of RAM.

I did a lot of research before buying and most reviewers said that whatever Apple has done with their M1/M2 SoC it's so fast that you really don't notice much difference.

I just did a Zoom call on mine with maybe 12 applications open and 40+ Chrome tabs open (I know I know) and my laptop wasn't the least bit sluggish at all.

I'd say for 98% of use-cases 8GB is fine when it's M1 or M2.

For all the RAM chats, lemme tell you that you need ~24gb of RAM on these machines to run Chome in memory. But, you probably won't feel the slowness with 8GB due to the SSD.

Source: own a 64GB M1.
