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 I agree. It is too low for a 1000$ machine, but Ok for the Neo, although Windows machines with 16GB hit the price mark
