... I think your dad got a funky laptop. I've been on an 8GB M1 for two years, running Adobe CC the entire time. I've edited absolutely massive photos - Gigabyte TIFFs, batch processing, etc - and never had any crashes. In fact I've done the above while playing HD video from YouTube with 40 tabs open and not experienced so much as a hiccup.
