16GB abso should be minimum for a PRO model, full agree there.

It’s just so funny to me how many people are like 8GB IS SO SLOW AND BAD AND UNUSABLE which is… not even really true for Windows. I have found four different people inexpensive 8GB Windows machines for daily use.

But OSX is so efficient with RAM, it’s completely usable for even more intensive things.

Name a model “pro”? Just fuckin put 16GB in it lawl

My 2011 MBP has 16GB and a SSD.

Wtf?! Who buys a 8 gb windows machine in 2023? Really... Who?! My TEN YEAR OLD laptop that died last month was 16gb. WHY would anyone ever even SELL a 8gb model in 2023?

Idk all of them were under 400USD, have i3-i5s, and have solid state drives. THEY RUN FINE.

How the fuck are you getting so worked up about quantity of RAM in laptops for old people?

Are you a child?

How the FUCK is 16GB RAM going to benefit gramps’ CRAIGSLIST BROWSING, or SORTING PHOTOGRAPHS?

How are you so fucking worked up about this? You’re an insane person with zero worldview
