The machine is almost assuredly going to be obsolete well before any SSD fails. Still, it is inexcusable that Apple chooses to solder the NAND chips to the MB.
As for running software, that's user-specific, but I regularly work with complex Excel spreadsheets and Access databases on 8GB RAM Inspiron laptops with very minimal load times and no discernible lag. I would assume that a Macbook's performance would be equal to or better than any Dell. 8GB RAM is definitely not 'ideal' but at $650, this machine will do most things well, and will be supported for at least the next 4+ years.
I didn't do any extreme operations on it. Mostly just Premiere pro + MS office + R + Minecraft.
Maybe Apple fixed that issue, I don't know. But when SWAP kicked in, I could feel the computer becoming slow. At least for myself, I will not be buying an 8gb ram Mac again.
Edit: Please try yourself to copy 100GB pictures on 256 SSD model and report everyone the time it took to finish the job. Without any practical experience there are 100 noobs here to defend a company which lost 500Billion in 2 months coz it cant innovate anything new for this age

Thanks! Hopefully it drops even lower during the 3 month return window and I can get a price adjustment
