This is like standing over a Toyota Prius and stating, “the lack of a V6 engine is a non-starter for me.”

8GB on a Mac is like 16GB on a Windows machine. Not literally, but for people looking for an everyday laptop that isn’t a piece of shit, this fits that bill to a T and then some.

Meh, 8GB is still a bit under. All I run on my Air is discord and Firefox, and it’s constantly choking on the lack of RAM. About once a week I have to force quit and then restore Firefox to get the system functional again.

I’ve recently fired Firefox for Chrome for its abysmal stability on MacOS
