This stuff is almost ewaste.
This is just not enough memory to make a computer last, especially since you can’t upgrade.
Websites and apps that a lot of people use just aren’t really expecting to only have 8gb ram available. Any kind of multitasking could easily run out of ram

If that’s all you’re doing you could save a $1000+ and just get a cheap Chromebook. Or if you want to be sustainable and reduce e-waste you could spend around the same amount on a framework laptop that’s upgradeable and then spend a tiny fraction of that every few years keeping it up to date, rather than going the Apple approach and chucking the whole thing in the trash every few years and buying a brand new one.
No matter how you slice it, an 8GB macbook is a crap deal.

Indeed, many people must have a mac as it is a fashion accessory.

Some people prefer a Mac because it integrates nicely with the rest of the Apple ecosystem.
