   "I have a theory that 90% of people who by the base MacBook Air are totally happy with 8GB of ram.

   But 100% of the people who watch YouTube videos about MacBooks hate it "

   I agree with most of this, but I DO think there's value to 16GB.

   - Gives you headroom for future projects
   - Makes the laptop easier to resell

     @davemark I have the 8gb M1 and would only upgrade to a 16.

     8 is fine usually; I’m a light user. But when I’m doing school work (business) that involves tableau, etc running at once, i can the beachball a lot. Or if I wanna play a game at high resolution etc. Or if I want 3 tabs open in chrome (rarely) 😂 Hate having to close all my other apps out.
