for the person who's looking for a machine to handle emails, facebook, netflix, and maybe a bit of document editing, 8GB is totally fine. and even if that extra ram was free, it still has a cost in battery life. 8GB of ram is the right choice for a lot of people buying a macbook air.

- antifa 4y agoIf you're OK with 30 minute battery life and your CPU fan running at max decibels when trying to open a single email...
- znpy 4y agoFor 1/3 of the price? Sure!
- antifa 4y ago$750/$999 is closer to 3/4, not 1/3. A little bit of diligence and patience could get you one on sale for $900 or $800.
- llampx 4y agoStrawman. Most mid-range ($700-1200) PC laptops are just fine nowadays.
- antifa 4y agoAh yes, every laptop I've owned over the last 20 years is a "strawman".
- notatoad 4y agoIt would, but people like macbooks and apple likes their money
- cma 4y ago8GB is less than phones are starting to be.
