It is the base model, I have about 2gb of ram free but it does run out quickly and due to apple bullshit there's no way to just open it and upgrade the ram (also, how the hell do they think 8gb is acceptable?). And they're capable of emulation, but not true virtualisation and things like VirtualBox don't run at all, unless that's changed recently because I admit I haven't looked into it since I found it was impossible after I got the machine.

Also once I have a single docker container running, it causes things like chrome to crash all the time, and I can't even run chrome, vscode, insomnia and a docker container together. Absolutely trash machine, doesn't compare even slightly to my 6 year old i7-8700k machine that's fully customisable. I don't see any reason to ever get another arm machine, and definitely not another Mac.
