Yes, I have tried using the M1 with 8GB RAM. I frequently bumped into RAM issues while using Chrome whenever I accumulated more than ~15 open tabs.
At this moment I am on a 16GB M2 Air and using 14.6GB of RAM. The only substantial app I have open is Chrome.
- danaris 3y agoChrome is well-known to be a vicious memory hog. Maybe you should try using Safari? It's not only much better with memory, it doesn't actively punish you for avoiding giving Google direct access to all your browsing...
- lotsofpulp 3y agoSame with all Google software, complete disregard for efficiency.
- floydnoel 3y agothey actually added a setting to let tabs drop out of memory, but it's an opt-in
- andrekandre 3y agofwiw safari can also be a memory hog as well; it really comes down to the site you are browsing unfortunately (its just a reality of the web nowadays) just open a few tabs of youtube in safari and 8gb laptop starts to feel cramped
