The most recent Just Josh Tech podcast episode mentioned this: the longer this chassis has been around, the more PC manufacturers have started closing the gaps. I really like how that podcast talked about the MacBook Neo as well. Some very non-technical users really do hit the 8GB memory wall and notice sluggishness just doing modern web browsing. A lot of early YouTubers have been doing reviews as quickly as possible (almost certainly being directly supplied by Apple with review units) singing the praises of the machine, but it's not that hard to find a 16GB-equipped Macbook Air for not much more money and that's a much better buy.
