8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro ‘Analogous to 16GB’ on PCs, Claims Apple::Following the unveiling of new MacBook Pro models last week, Apple surprised some with the introduction of a base 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 chip,…
Ah yes, the megabyte myth. Certainly haven’t anything like that before…
Maybe it’s true, but a better headline would be “our systems come with 16gb as standard, which feels like 32gb on windows.”
So you get a good amount of ram, which feels better because It’s a Mac.
I’ve been on 16GB of ram on all of my machines for so long … It’s really the sweet spot for everything I do (gaming etc. ) I don’t do media production or anything like that. All that said I’m currently in the market for a new machine and will probably get 32GB “just to be safe” but since my next laptop will probably be a framework I don’t have to make the decision till I actually need the ram and even then I can still decide to get one stick first the other later and the prices scales pretty linearly.
8GB might still be enough for some web browsing and stuff but apple should not put this little RAM in anything they call professional.
And before anyone says “you only need that much ram in Windows” well … I don’t and won’t be running Windows ;)
In case you didn’t know, templeos is an os made from scratch by this mentally Ill dude, and its kinda become a meme
Not if it’s sharing memory with the GPU. Then its 6Gb is analogous to what exactly?
