Unfortunately, that's typical way of selling by the greedy Apple. In fact, many mobile
Phones have 16gb these days!
You think you did something with that comparison. Typical Apple hater who has no idea how computers work.

I typically use over 100Gb of RAM with multiple IDEs and builds going, usually the heavy hitters are IDEs with indexing and PAR for large FPGA designs. Will a laptop with 8GB of RAM be enough?

120hz is huge
120hz is only on the MacBook Pro 14" and 16" with the Apple Silicon chipset.

The 13" MacBook Pro does not have 120hz. The only thing it has is true-tone retina display same as the Intel MacBook's.

With the new Apple Silicon chipset, the 13" Pro is not Pro. Don't be fooled by the name.

If you are asking this question, then you shouldn't be developing and use FPGAs.

Solid deal. I will swing by my local Costco in the rare chance I can find one. My wife's 2012 is finally ready to retire - I would gladly pick this over the M1 Air they've been taunting me to buy for her.
Don't do it. Don't buy this MacBook Pro 13". Wait for the price of the M2 MacBook Air to go back on sale. Get her that. You'll thank me. When compared M2 MacBook Pro 13" vs M2 MacBook Air. The M2 MacBook Pro 13" will look and feel dated. It also doesn't perform any better.

In addition to several Windows PCs in the house, we have 7 Macs still in service, and 2 are Apple silicon. Don't believe the hype that 8/256 is acceptable because it absolutely isn't. The only reason all of my Macs (some over 10 years old) are still in use is because they have a minimum of 16GB RAM. The lowest acceptable spec for M1/2/3 is 16/256 and that's if you plan to add some external TB4 or high speed USB storage.

Either your attempt at humor/trolling is just lame, befitting a SWE - or you are sincere, in which case I suggest you switch to Walmart greeter.

the fans in the pro do not factor in any way?
The fan helps but Apple's SOC are very efficient that only during multi-core and longer run time that it helps but very minimal in real world applications. This only applies to the regular M-series chip and not the Mx Pro chipset. The Pro SOC have more performance cores that require a fan. The 13" MacBook Pro does not have a Pro SOC. Don't be fooled by the name.

Quote from justinmarguet :
People have tested these apple marketing claims and found them to be baseless. 8 GB of ram is a major bottleneck on MacBook with the current models. A 60 mb jpg doesn't suddenly become 30 on MacOS and the ability to use swap file faster doesn't approach the speed that comes with more being on ram. The lower latency from being a package doesn't make up for having not enough room. Plus relying on swap file will kick the crap out of the non replaceable SSD.

8 gb is a bottleneck. Maybe it's one people are willing to accept. But Any claims otherwise are just apple "magic marketing." Unless Apple figures out how to store files in half the size, 8 gb is 8 gb.
I still remember years ago Apple's TV commercial bashed Windows for being "not secure" when MacOS's freaking update service didn't even use SSL or certificate!

Thanks! My wife is all hands on deck for a macbook and I just saw the cheapest one. There was a $750 MBA offered in Costco couple weeks back but that was an M1, would you recommend that? Holding out on an M2 though, maybe once M3 comes out, but hell if I pay one for >$1k. We'll just hold onto it until something better comes along.

TIA

So the original price is actually $1299. Not a bad deal. but considering it is 2024 with 8 RAM, it is not a slick deal.
