I have an m1 16gb, and i can easily hit the ram limit. Few android emulators and docker containers and im there. It may be an Air, but the CPU is perfectly capable of all of that and more, but the RAM is definitely holding it back.
Cant upgrade it without buying a whole new laptop, so Im stuck with it.
I totally believe you can hit the ram limit on these. I was just saying Ive surprisingly managed to be fine with 8GB.
Android emulators are notoriously memory hungry and there are certain tasks that just flat out require more ram regardless of how well it’s managed.
The advice I heard about these a while back is: if you know 8GB isn’t enough for you, then you aren’t the market segment they are targeting with the basic models.
That said, no “pro” model should come with just 8GB. It just waters down what “pro” means.
