I used a MB Air M1 with 8GB of RAM until ~2 years ago and rarely ever felt that it didn't have enough RAM, or power in general. Sure there are use cases where one might need more, but many seem to think 8 gigs is some unusable junk. I think it's not, if the price is right. Which on the Neo it is.
@Techaltar it’s because of windows. Windows is almost impossible to use with 8gb of ram
@spaceraser @Techaltar That's not my experience. IMHO, every OS works perfectly fine with 8GB RAM. More often, it is dozens of programs running in the background and starting automatically when the system boots up that fill up the RAM. In my experience, Windows users tend to have such programs more often then others (Spotify, Steam, Printer driver, Brother Scan Center, useless "Tuning"-Tools, AV Scanner, TomTom/Garmin-Sync Services, Discord etc). But that's just my personal observation.
@markusr @Techaltar I guess if windows can't handle all those things being open, but OSs like linux and macos can, then that sort of makes my point. Like people don't really use just one program at a time all the time.
