No, I don't think you're wrong. Apple has a bizarre product offering which combines an 8 core processor with a 720P camera and 8GB RAM.

- rbanffy 6y agoSurprising as it seems, 8GB seems to be enough for most "normal" users. My wife has an 8GB MacBook Pro and I'm always shocked by how many open tabs she keeps in Chrome and how many Office documents are open at any given time. My 16GB MBP is constraining sometimes and the next one will, doubtlessly, come with at least 32GB. Until Apple can do that, I won't use an ARM-based Mac as my daily driver. As for the 8-core, it's 4 beefy ones and 4 low-power ones. Load will shift from one kind to the other according to usage patterns. This is how they achieve that 20-hour battery life.
- mekster 6y agoHow come people have problem with 8GB of RAM as if without more, your usage is screwed? I run heavyweight IDE, Photoshop, VMware and Chrome and I still could manage with 8GB fine. Who requires 16GB for daily use?
