8GB is okay for a high school student or someone who just needs to browse the web, do light work. Laptop will last them a long time
I have MBA m3 8GB. Crashes a ton when streaming twitch on Chrome.

Spend a little more and get the M4 for lots of reasons including capabilities and resale value etc.

will costco take back or price match still unopened M3 I bought during BF? It's beyond 90 days I know, but just checking here if anybody had any such experience, esp. since it's still factory sealed? Didn't get a chance to open it yet, but I'm about to.

No. 90 days on Apple products.

A spoiled high school student from a wealthy family, maybe, because the same job can be done on a $200 Chromebook.

Exactly. Barely 2 years ago or so ago it was "4GB is fine for simple tasks like emails and browsing the web". Apparently email programs have gotten intense cause now we need 16gigs for that 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Lol. Apple is ridiculously overpriced

The RAM and storage is pricy. The processors are amazing.

That's not a RAM issue.

There should be more to life than 'get the job done'. Indeed that the grade school provided Chromebooks get the job done. Because the 'jobs' are designed around the limitations of the low entrance bar that is sufficiently satisfactory.

I'm a certified macOS hater but man these laptops are super nice. They easily have the best touchpad/keyboard and phenomenal battery life. Plus if you have an iPhone it's super convenient to use iMessage and airdrop and Siri.

My gf carries her M1 Macbook to work every day without the charger, uses it all day, and doesn't plug it in until bedtime. I can't imagine doing that with any of my machines.

Yes it's overpriced for the specs but if you use a laptop daily for hours, it's worth the premium. It's like commuting to work in a Mercedes vs. a Corvette.
