It is not. I sold mine and bought a 32gb. It was good for my office stuff in the first couple of weeks and then it slow down quite a bit. The memory is always taken up at 6gb. Anyone saying 8gb is enough for office is BS. It's not even enough for 10 tab in chrome.
Just some fact before air fanboy insist that it's good enough. It is not. It id NOT.
8GB is enough in a windows laptop for productivity, let alone a MacBook. Macbooks handle RAM more efficiently than windows laptops. People who buy 8GB RAM laptops know their limits quite well.

I have been using a windows laptop with I5-1135G7/8/512 (acer spin 3 to be specific) for the past 1.5 years and I have more than 10 tabs open almost constantly (in edge, not chrome though). I only do productive work or consume media, and for that it's enough for me. I know my limitations and so this laptop has held up very nicely without any major or annoying hiccups. My brother owns the 2020 MacBook air with 8GB of RAM and it has been perfect for him, too, since almost 2 years.

Simply put, cut the 8GB ram BS and preach this cool-aid elsewhere.

It's not that scammy if you use it

B2G1 switch games, included wall mount services, this, also applecare+ for as long as you have total tech etc. it's a rip if you don't use it but it's pretty fair if you do those few things

I thought they got rid of the wall mount services?

The 256gb storage is not enough, especially since you cannot expand it on Macs.
