Macbooks, even these low spec ones tend to outlive other laptops substantially. The better build quality and higher resale value keeps them in use much longer.
The argument these devices are e-waste doesn't make sense and doesn't track.
8GB is enough as that’s what I have on my 2019 Surface Go.
But that’s a device I bought 399.- (almost the same as dollars) 5 years ago.
So I don’t think it’s okay to sell a new laptop with Pro in its name for a high price in 2024. Especially because it wouldn’t cost them much to upgrade the RAM.
It’s like buying a 30bhp car in 2024. Yeah it’s enough, but not for the price of a normal car.
