And uncle Tim knows this. That's why he wants you to pay ~$200 more for the extra 8gb. This one is just the bait to grab his extra profit selling the 16gb.

The 8GB shouldn't be a limiting factor for 99% of people who post here. I used one of these as my WFH system (which doubles as a small gaming system, I don't play much though, I use the PS5 for that), running Teams, Discord, Apple Music, Outlook, Excel, Messenger, a handful of Elgato apps to run their lights and a Stream Deck, and a dozen Safari tabs and my memory doesn't go into 'yellow' unless I don't reboot for a few days. If I reboot nightly it's never a problem.

I also use one on my recording setup, same config, running Logic with several add-in components or Final Cut Pro, again with no memory issues.

I upgraded to an M2 Pro for my WFH setup only because I bought a Dell u4025 monitor that supports a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the standard M2 didn't. I notice zero difference performance-wise and it was, to be honest, sort of a waste of money just to get smoother scrolling.

I bought this for $499 in April 2023. I guess it's holding its value pretty well...

Yeah, even though I'm generally not a fan of MacOS, I did buy M1 Macbook Air's for my wife, mom, sister and sister-in-law. All of them have been impressed with the performance and how quiet they are over the past two years. Such an enormous upgrade coming from the old Intel Macbooks. Intel is about to get destroyed now that Qualcomm is about to release desktop/laptop class ARM chips with similar performances to Apple's M2, which is still more efficient than anything in Intel's portfolio.

Ram is soldered on these units.

Me either until I bought a "newish" 2019 16", intel unfortunately, but they're amazing in terms of battery life & TouchPad feel/gestures and overall smoothness. There are some amazing apps as well. Last apple I tried was a 8gb air from 2014. Need a good deal for the m1 series without bestbuys crappy 2 week return with that recent refurbished deal
