I just upgraded to 16 gb of ram on my 8 year old Dell and can't tell a difference.
Hopefully Apple starts making 16 gb the base on their new computers just because the cost to them is minimal.
Calling for 16GB is a legitimate ask for 2020< but for the majority of people, not needed for most people looking at a MacBook Air.
SD likes to hate on 8GB RAM because it really doesn't cost that much for Apple to put in 16GB. If everyone owner/customer was complaining about 8GB of RAM, Apple would have made changes already because it would hurt their brand. Maybe it'll happen in 2024 but today 8GB is enough.
Now, knowing that the MBA is a CONSUMER product, and that most stores will carry the base model....it's heavily implied that most MBA consumers are using...8gb of ram.
Why should Apple switch to anything else if most folks have zero issues with it???? That doesn't make sense, eh? Every time there's a deal that's posted the ram crying crew comes out but I don't truly think they've used an entry-level MBA....OR their use cases are so big that it'd be foolish to use an entry-level MBA.
What I'm typing is the consumer are speaking, and they're saying that they don't care. Why not just get the upgraded MBA and beat your feet?

Good thing I didn't settle for 8gb of ram and did more research. This video explains it

I'd say if you are only a casual user (internet, documents, etc), this would maybe be enough. Then again, why pay this price if you can have a cheaper 16gb option for windows. I get it when people are just apple fans and like the eco system. If I didn't want to build IOS apps using swift and xcode, I would have stuck to my Dell XPS 13 plus. Otherwise I think Macs are good for development but overpriced.

The real crime is TWO HUNDRED F**KING DOLLARS for an additional 8GB
And if the 16gb model is on sale, it probably has 256gb of storage.
