Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse
deranger@lemmy.world 2 months agoA more apt analogy would be to use the truck bed size. Horsepower is more akin to the CPU speed.
Most people don’t fill their truck bed just like most people don’t fill their RAM. I’ve had no issues with my family users who just do typical light laptop tasks on 8GB RAM. I think the memory upgrades need to be much, much cheaper, but 8GB works absolutely fine IME. I would like 16GB but it’d be a waste for the other users in my household.

You’re in the minority actually.
Why buy an overpriced Mac and not use it to its full potential?
Just for the logo on the back?

How do you know I’m in the minority when I didn’t say how I use my laptop? I don’t get it. I do use it to its potential, and there’s no logo on the back. It’s in a case.

You just said you never utilize all of your ram, so it’s apparent that you don’t heavily utilize your machine

I did not say that. I said I’d actually like 16GB. It’s my family users (normal, non nerds) who have no issue with 8GB RAM and having 30+ tabs and two dozen apps running.
