And here I am on my M2 w/ 24GB RAM and a couple of RAW 48MP photos will bog the system down.
replyAnd if Time Machine kicks in, there goes any form of performance since Apple can't seem to figure out what a 'background task' is.
I still remember how Apple fans run around singing praises what their 8GB M1 absolutely kicked ass of Intel Macs with 16GB (and even more). Only to quietly replace them with a model with more RAM next year or some even way earlier than that.
replyI can open even 500 apps on any laptop. This is what swap for. But with only 8GB you are getting into the swap territory very fast because you need almost half of it for the OS and video memory.
It did/does absolutely kick ass and 16GB is better. They’re not at odds with each other :D
replyMore RAM is better. But doesn’t negate that it’s still very usable. Did you even bother to watch the video for responsiveness before commenting? Also it was a couple years after the transition to arm that Apple bumped the minimum RAM they shipped their laptops with.

replyAs a glorified terminal? Sure.

I did, now what?

Hello, we are talking about Neo with the same 8GB.
It’s hard to take you seriously or at face value if you did watch the video and called it a glorified terminal.
replyWhat in the video is remotely glorified terminal like? What terminal are you using that gives you local 4K editing capabilities and the ability to run locally run Lightroom for 50MP files?
