I agree that 8GB is too small. My theory is that the Apple M processor guys have entered a dark pact with the marketing guys that runs like this: - we are going to need a speed bump after the initial switch to the M series to keep the momentum - we can get 8GB on the same SOC as the CPU much cheaper than 16GB (this was different with the Intel non SOC multi package architecture) And so RAM for a mac is now analogous to camera lenses on an iPhone … it going to be the main driver of upgrades when the step change to M / SOC saturates It also explains why the late Intel modules were limited to 8GB
