> become a bad idea to recommend 8 GB RAM PC’s even for casual use. 16 GB will become the minimum spec I think the only reason why anyone still argues whether 8GB of RAM is enough is because of Apple still offering this miserable amount of memory on their Mac's. Anyone outside of Apple ecosystem doesn't even bother answering.

You should seriously look at all the most popular windows laptops at online stores.

> I think the only reason why anyone still argues whether 8GB of RAM is enough is because of Apple still offering this miserable amount of memory on their Mac's I don't really agree with that. I bought a Windows PC in 2012 with 8GB RAM and connected it to my TV, for watching YouTube and general surfing. It's still going strong. Typing this reply using that computer. A dozen Chrome tabs open, Spotify playing etc. Currently 2.9 GB in use according to Windows 7 task manager (maybe Windows 10/11 would use more RAM?). I think 8GB is more than enough in 2021 if all you want to do is have a few Chrome tabs open, watch YouTube etc. Which is the target market for low-end Macs I reckon.
