Apple says 8GB is dandy for most mainstream tasks but that's not actually true.
You're viewing a single thread.
And I'm here contemplating upgrading to 32 GB...
Yup. My MacBook Pro for work has 16GB and I keep running out of RAM. I can't fathom being limited to 8GB...
I guess it works for basic browsing and whatnot, but for any kind of professional work, you're going to have a bad time.
I built a gaming PC for the first time since ~20 years ago. Decided to dump 64gb into it for no good reason other than ram is cheap and I figured I might as well.
8gb...jeebus.
