Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever

I’m positive the minimum went up to 16gb like a generation or two back. It’s sickening that they went back over.
I have a couple of work MacBooks with 8gb for managers and they often complain of them going slow as molasses when having a good few tabs open in chrome. I’m talking less then 10 though, but heavy sites like email and AdWords and other horrible sites.

Less than 10 ? Sounds a bit far fetched. Any modern OS with 8 gb ram can handle 10 tabs. It is probably for other reasons may be

Don’t underestimate the black hole of ram that is Google AdWords and Google analytics. And chrome.

Also don’t underestimate all of the background services that the IT department loads: email certificate managers, VPN client, DLP client, backup client, endpoint protection, etc.

I noticed the other day that each jira cloud tab takes about 250-350MB of ram. For just viewing a single ticket too! Still doesn’t add up to 8GB but ten tabs of that would eat up a good chunk of that.

Yeah, I hate Atlassian products.

Have you ever seen a good ticketing system though? Shared mailbox doesn’t count.
