TechAltarI 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.
Hudson@Techaltar I don’t know… my wife frequently had a huge safari tab farm, multiple word and excel docs open, and found her m1 8gb insufferable. She won’t manage open apps to save her life. M4 16gb saved her from herself and the device’s constraints. She’s the quintessential non techie office worker.
@hpridham it's a good thing that I didn't say 8gb would work for your wife's specific usage pattern :P
@Techaltar I mean, she’s not working in Proton docs but I assumed heavy web and doc editing is your workflow.
