Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests

My kid grabbed an 8/256 M2 Air when they first launched last year, and is still overjoyed with its performance. He has a PS5 for gaming, so the Mac is for uni work and downloading shit. 8gb RAM isn’t inherently bad.

It’s just as you said though; it’s bad for a “Pro” machine.

$1000+ for basic word processing and web is bonkers to me.

  Fair. But he likes using it and there’s more to value than the monetary cost of a device. For a start, there’s the build quality, but also the integration with his iPhone.

    Oh it’s entirely up to him how he spends his money, didn’t mean to suggest otherwise.

1000$+ for uni shit is the most astounding thing I’ve ever heard

  Man, you should watch new series of Planet Earth then, because there are some significantly more astounding things on that than someone spending their own money on a computer they wanted.

    No thanks. People making dumb financial decisions will be always more astounding.
    
    Maybe because I didn’t grow in rich family but okay carry on, I wasn’t judging. It was genuinely fascinating to me
