Sorry to say, but your original understanding is correct. If you go with 16gb RAM, it avoids the bulk of the issue with the 256 SSD as you'll severely reduce the need for memory swapping (which is...

I don't even see an M2, 512GB with 16GB RAM on the Apple website. How much is that?

This is very risky and terrible financial purchase.
You do not "store" data, especially family photos in a laptop. Eventually the storage will fail and you will loose everything. For a regular...

Does everybody here lack reading comprehension? I didn't say "never". To use that as the basis of your original argument is nonsensical, since it doesn't happen that often.

8gb is not enough. You hit the memory cap easily and the OS forces you to close apps against your will (basically a crash)
Apple should be ashamed they even offer 8gb because it limits it to...

This was the reason many people recommend the 14 pro or the M1 Air because you really should get 16gb of ram also. When you upgraded the M2 Air to 512gb SSD and 16gb of ram then you're not far off...

Just look it up on YouTube as many content creators did tons of benchmarks. The single chip 256 M2 is much slower than the 256 M1 Air. We're talking about SSD speeds here.

Interesting - I figured 16gb would take care of it. Thanks so much!

The big bottleneck is the 256mb drive. Upgrading to 8/512 would get you better performance than 16/256. The single chip for the 256 drive they use now is the issue

Definitely. Most would probably be fine with 8/512 but do not buy one with the 256 hd. On the MBA M1, the 256 had 2 chips, with the M2, it is now only one and much slower.
