My laptop (2014 MacBook Air) only has 4GB of RAM. Most of the time it’s usually fine with Chrome, Spotify, Slack, a Terminal, Rails, Webpack and Neovim (with ALE, so another Node process running). However I have to keep the number of tabs open to a minimum, if I have more than 20 it just grinds to a halt. And restarting Chrome usually involves waiting for a few minutes for everything to load up. Starting Docker or Sketch is also painful. Fortunately I have a Linux desktop which is my primary machine, but I do still use this quite a lot when I’m working away from my desk.
