8 is fine for a tablet.
8 is not fine for a brand-fucking new state of the art laptop.
"With an apple silicon architecture, 8gb is like 16gb" -some stupid apple flunkey
The irony is that it's arguably the opposite, since the GPU and CPU just have a shared memory pool, rather than having dedicated memory and the shared memory pool.
So if you're watching a 4k video, you might have lost a gigabyte or two just for VRAM.
It's because they think that people only do one thing at a time.
New feature turns off the screen to flush graphics memory so the cpu can process data.
The "touch grass" mode.
They certainly don't want to connect more than one external screen, just ask Tim Apple
That was just after face planting in a Scarface size pile of cocaine as is standard procedure with all apple marketing teams
It's not even enough for a tablet and apple know it, which is why the iPad Pro has 16GB of RAM
8 GB is fine for a medium-priced laptop, where you can add more or at least swap out the existing stick for a bigger one if you ever need it.
Sure or a phone.
My iPad has 3GB RAM and honestly that’s enough. I don’t know what you do on your tablet, but for my everyday activities I have never felt limited
iPads don't really multitask so it is super easy to hide the low ram with swap.
We’re talking about laptops though. I was just using tablets as a comparison point.
