Can't believe Apple still wants us to think 8GB is enough for the average consumer
I think most are just using the Air in the same way they're using chromebooks - web searching/spotify/daily work. For those needs, 8gb is generally fine imo on an Air model.
Otherwise, I 100% agree though with it being dumb of Apple to be shipping 8GB and 512GB SSD's with their base pro models (and charging $1599 for it as well). The Pro model should start with 16GB and a 1TB drive - they're asking $1999 for that though.

Not to mention the gimped SSD speeds in the M2 model was well. At this late in the cycle it's best to wait for the new base model MBA to be announced which should have at least 12gb RAM (or 10 if Apple is exceptionally greedy) due to AI
When the newer M3 model was widely available for $850 from Amazon and Costco through this past Sunday (and can still be bought for that price if you have a Plus membership at Best Buy), this is a "deal" for uneducated buyers only.
One can argue that even at $900 right now from those same retailers, the M3 version is a better value (and includes the 2nd year warranty from Costco). And for those who are on a stricter budget, the M1 model is still only $650 at Walmart. Ultimately, between the $650 M1 and the $850-$900 M3, the M2 model is in a no-man's land pricewise.

Until they get touchscreens, they're all a bit pointless though nowadays, aren't they?

I came to post almost exactly this.
Only makes sense @:
M3 $850
M2 $750
M1 $650
But until that price is 12GB ram min, I will not buy. I don't care if it is significant enough for most or even me (which I don't agree as the OS takes up 4gb+ ram itself). Their upgrade prices are offensive and that's the only response within my power. It makes no sense to rip off customers this way when their market share is low and they could be increasing revenue through other means like monthly subscriptions once getting customers in their ecosystem.
