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 the thing is that 8GB is no where close to modern computing standard, that entails Windows 11 and chrome already together take 6. Please try out Linux, there is Asahi for M1 macs. I'm interested in knowing how the process is for you.
