In fairness, it still sounds better than the 1st gen touchbar macs.

The 8GB max DRAM thing is a brutal limitation though.
- iFreilicht 8mo ago100% agree. The mac mini was offered with 8GB for some time as well, and when my dad needed a new desktop, I thought that would be a good option. It was basically unusable. Even when you only have a few finder windows and a few (less than 5) tabs in safari open, you can feel the swap slowing down the system; just opening a folder or a new tab is noticeably slow, opening safari itself takes multiple seconds, and with just that basic usage you can run into the out-of-memory dialogue, something I had never seen before in macOS. I have no idea how apple can believe that the neo won't damage their brand reputation. They must have optimized something to make 8GB viable.
