      8GB of memory on your base model was ridiculous half a decade ago, it’s a crime in 2024.

      I’d also say a quarter of a terabyte is nowhere near enough storage for a computer a quarter of the cost.

      I’m not a Mac hater, the (non-baseline with recent revisions) MBP line has been pretty fantastic for as long as I’ve been using them (over a decade now), but the baseline non-pro models are a waste of money.

        8GB RAM is enough if you don’t know what RAM is. But not for that price.

          My Mini at work has 8gb that I can’t upgrade, and honestly, the only time it’s ever a real issue is when I’m running a Win11 VM that eats up half the RAM.

          However, with the cost of RAM now, speccing 8gb on any £1000+ computers is downright criminal.
