    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.

        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.
