Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse (www.pcgamer.com)

PC (so, presumably meant for Windows) laptops with 4GB are still all over the place.

They'd probably work reasonably well under [not Windows]. How well they do with Windows is left as an exercise for the reader.

Macbooks are meant to be for creative professionals and those of us deluding ourselves into thinking we might one day be one of those

8G RAM for that purpose is NOT enough in 2024. Shit, it barely was when I went through college in 2016 with a macbook (which is why our models had 16)

Here in Portugal the lowest is 8gb. The 500 euro models have 16gb already.
