I do programming and some basic video edits. I haven’t faced any issue with having 8GB of ram. But I just changed to s mac book air (used) and got 512/16gb of ram. Not because I need the extra ram but because I want to be sure that I will have enough ram for newer software and I can still use this laptop for a good 5-7 years

Apr 6, 2024 · Hi, Im looking to buy a new macbook to replace my old intel one. My budget is enough to buy a new m3 macbook air 15’’ with 8gb or a refurbished m2 one (from apple refurbished program) with 16gb. Im a student and wont use the laptop for very heavy tasks, I’ll use it mostly for working on...

My current 2015 16GB Macbook Pro had occasionally started showing me “Out of Application Memory” pop up warning after 9 years of use. Still, Memory Pressure graph on the current macbook is almost always green. For the new macbook purchase, I need to decide between 16GB vs 24GB RAM based on the above use case.

Jan 20, 2023 · I Agree with you 100%. I tried a MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM for school. Nothing too demanding, just things such as the Microsoft package and some apps such as WhatsApp, Outlook, etc. I loved that MacBook Air M2 13-inch, but it …

Apr 12, 2001 · Amazon today introduced a new price drop on the M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM, specifically for the 13-inch model with 256GB of storage.

Oct 30, 2021 · Yikes and here I got the 16GB wishing I kept the 8 😂. I use mine primarily for office work so zoom calls, teams, WhatsApp, discord, lots of safari tabs. At the time I owned the 8 I was using a lot of swap around 4-6GB even though I never saw it slow down so I swapped it out for a 16GB. Now I use no swap at all but it’s not any faster.

Apr 8, 2023 · So after a clan install of macOS Monterey, I wrote the mid 2013 MacBook air 11" bios dump bin with SPD changed to the bios chip. This time it showed 16g RAM and early 2014 MacBook air 11". I also do not know whether my own early 2014 MacBook air 11" EFI bios was modified during the last repair by others. It was the same situation as above.

Jul 13, 2010 · Get the MacBook Air, because having 2 Windows machines is boring. Better ”diversify” what you have. I would never in a million years get 8GB RAM on a laptop, because even my M1 12.9 iPad Pro with 8GB RAM runs out of memory, and that is …. an iPad.

Apr 4, 2019 · Apple has announced the M4 chip for the MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini. I was thinking it is not long until the MacBook Air will get the M4 chip, I suspect it will be in March 2025. So, it is roughly in 4 months time. I am coming from the 15-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage configurations.

Jan 4, 2023 · I know we're trained to think "it's just an Air" but these Apple Silicon MacBook Airs are faster than the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and that thing was a beast. It will work beautifully for most people, regardless, because most people are in Safari 90% of the time, but the low RAM is absolutely a bottleneck for what is otherwise a MacBook Pro ...
