I really don't get the RAM thing - I have a 2013 MBAir 13" which I slam hard, run a ton of apps, VMware w/WIndows XP, Cisco Router Virtualization Simulations (GNS3/Dynamips), full office suite, Google Earth, Chrome w/20 Tabs - usually around 20-25 Apps at once, and I never have Ram pressure. OS X and 8 GB of memory for "typical user stuff" (I.E. not huge VMs, not Databases, No Video Codecs) - just seems to be the sweet spot for memory, and I 100% of the time recommend people not worrying about not having more memory on the MBAir. For the work that a Macbook is going to be doing, I would think that 8 GB is more than enough. The thing that will kill me - lack of USB ports when I'm out in the field. I really need the two USB ports - and the MBair is a life saver their. Hopefully a cheap USB-C --> 2 USB port converter will come out soon.
