sorted byThe reason I ask is because following testing from thousands of tech sites, along with reviews from users following the millions of M1 computers that have been sold, the majority with "just 8GB of Ram", reflect that 8GB is actually more than adequate to get through almost any task that you can think of with ease.
This is not an Intel CPU and this does not run Windows. Yes, it is still a computer and yes it still has limitations, but at the end of the day there is no reason to think that someone will not get years of useful service out of this computer.
You need to reset your expectations. You no longer need a thick laptop with loads of fans to get good performance, yes, you really can get all day battery life on these and yes, 8GB of Ram really is enough for most people with this design. (edited)
Lots of people don't need the power of the 14/16" MacBook Pro and find the halfway house option of the 13" useful.
I'm typing this on a 16" MacBook Pro, I actually use the power for data science so it was worth the investment. My wife uses an M1 based Air and I've never encountered any slow down on it for day to day use. Still, it's good to have options for those that want it.
