This is 2024....these specs would have been slightly below-average *ten years ago*. Now it's just comical.
Ok ok ok, fine. I wouldn't recommend a new retail 64gb/8tb system to an average user (as it's overkill), just as I wouldn't recommend a 8gb/256gb system. Both are on the extremes, and require clearly articulated use cases.
Just because Apple *offers* that configuration, doesn't mean it's a *good* configuration.
Rumors have been around for a while, but the rumors from 2 days ago came from credible resources based on what Apple has been testing. All testing versions were 16Gb or greater.
Not sure if it's for the MB Pro or MB Air since the testing versions were code named.
However. If they are moving to 16GB as base it is probably because they found it was needed to provide a better experience for Apple Intelligence features.

Now 8GB on a "Pro"-labeled device? Ain't no way. Apple should be ashamed of themselves for releasing something with 8GB and calling it a device for professionals.

Um, no. No it's absolutely not. All joking aside, it MIGHT have been fine to say that a decade ago, but not anymore.
It's a great machine, but I wouldn't go for the 8gb.

It may swap to and from the ssd ...given the speed of ssd I think most would never notice.
I made my living for 25 years publishing as well as creating video and podcast and short of working for nfl films all these machines do the job.
yeah get a 200 dollar laptop if you going to get 8gb of ram and most of the 200 laptops you can at least upgrade the ram.
fuk apple remove all your 8gb laptops already its an insult.
8gb is only for ipads or tablets or chrome books now not this.
