Not a bad price. 8GB of RAM is pretty low these days
yeah, i saw it was 8GB RAM, and thought, nah. Though admittedly, MacOS is pretty lite on resources. My current Macs are 8GB as they’re older, but they don’t really struggle. But I don’t do much except music and lemmy. So yeah, 8GB might be a bit low if you want to do anything more intensive than just mild browsing.
My M1 MacBook Air has 8GB RAM, and it grinds to a halt every time I get more than 10 browser tabs open. Sometimes when waking from sleep, it’s like 5 minutes before the thing becomes responsive again…. So no, 8 GB is not enough in this day and age.
