Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

On an Air, 8gb is the bare minimum that is realistically viable, for people who don’t do anything than browse the web

Thanks to the modern web, web browsing of one of the most RAM intensive tasks. Add a few Electron based apps and you’re in hell.

For browsing the web 4 GB is enough, unless you do some multitasking. Still I wouldn’t buy a computer with less than 8 GB of RAM nowadays.

  Multitasking = more than one tab and the background tabs not immediately put to sleep.
