I pointed out that for $300 more you get
- double the storage (faster as well)
- much larger trackpad
- way higher quality speakers (best in class in the Pros)
- MUCH better screen
- MUCH better battery life with quicker charging
- an actual cooling system
Then i pointed out that buying a Macbook with 16GB of RAM for $1000+ is a bad investment unless you plan on selling it in the next year or so.
I JUST upgraded my home 16" Intel i9 128GB - the extra RAM keeps it flying nearly 5+ years later. Without the RAM it would be on eBay like all the other 16" Pros with low RAM.
My current laptop is a M4 Max 128GB, one of my business partners had the same laptop with 16GB of RAM. After watching me use mine, he gave his to his wife and bought one with 128GB of RAM.
RAM matters, even for watching Youtube videos/casting/basic shit, some dont notice slow downs or are willing to put up with it, but if you are spending $1k that shouldnt be the case you should future proof unless you have cash to blow which in that case you wouldnt be shopping for a $1,000 laptop.
You get what you pay for, yes 8GB and 16GB is enough to run things, but it is not an enjoyable user experience, maybe at $400-500 not at $1000-1500+
Let me guess you are the type of guy that compares a Ford to a Rolls Royce and argues they both get you to your destination so they must have equal value and user experience.
One more thing, thanks for giving me Tim Cook's future plans regarding base RAM but that really doesnt apply to me bc Ive never purchased a laptop in the last 5 years with less than 64GB of RAM. It's not a flex when you actually get use and value out of something.
Anyways- Good day to you too

Great deal for a M4 Air
Your question has been posed on Reddit 1000s of times, why is so much of my RAM being eaten up when another Macbook is running the same 2 programs with 1/4 of my RAM?
People will bitch, whine, downvote, and complain - you want a good user experience on a Mac then you get as much RAM as possible unless you plan on upgrading in a year or two.
When someone cant afford something (not speaking of you), they shit all over it and use any justification possible to convince themselves internally they dont need something.
The reality is they cant afford it so they spread misinformation for people who are shopping for a new laptop, sucks to suck

Apple: $420
BestBuy : $500
I just traded mine at Best buy and got the 512gb M4 air 10gpu core. I realize I could've gotten it cheaper at apple education store but oops, I couldn't wait.
