This is what people are missing. 8 GB of ram on the new silicone isn’t the same as 8 GB of ram on an Intel device. People wont understand this until they use a new M series machine.
I have an M2 16 GB MBA 15” with 512 and I edit 4K video in FCP with ease, and can export it in no time. I still giggle a little when I see how quick the estimated export time week be after I click export.
The only issue I’ve had with this laptop is that the Finder will freeze up. It does this when I’m working as well as when there isn’t a single program open. It’s strange but force quitting fixes it.
There was literally a post a few days ago where someone said the RAM in the base 2023 MacBook Pro was the same RAM in the base 2015 MacBook Pro. Not the same amount of RAM, they said they have the same RAM.
That’s the level of technical literacy the people complaining about this have—and I get why Apple doesn’t publicize the amount of RAM in the iPhones or iPads.
To be clear though, I do agree that the amount of RAM for the cost of the computer isn’t right, I’m not trying to defend Apple.
