8GB of memory on your base model was ridiculous half a decade ago, it’s a crime in 2024.
I’d also say a quarter of a terabyte is nowhere near enough storage for a computer a quarter of the cost.
I’m not a Mac hater, the (non-baseline with recent revisions) MBP line has been pretty fantastic for as long as I’ve been using them (over a decade now), but the baseline non-pro models are a waste of money.
My Mini at work has 8gb that I can’t upgrade, and honestly, the only time it’s ever a real issue is when I’m running a Win11 VM that eats up half the RAM.
However, with the cost of RAM now, speccing 8gb on any £1000+ computers is downright criminal.
how are MacBook airs under specced?

8GB RAM is enough if you don’t know what RAM is. But not for that price.

Ram and disk for price point.
