      That's… now how ram works. Loading 200mb of a program into memory is 200mb, regardless of if the actual OS takes 2gb or 3gb in the background. I'd say 8gb on macos is about 9-10gb on Windows, if we take into account the background resource drain from all the microsoft crap, unless you run LTSC, in which case 8gb on macos would actually have less free resources.

        Spot on, especially regarding the MacOS/Windows equivalent ram conversion.

        Whether you buy a Windows PC or Mac, 16GB is what you should be considering imo.

        That's a bit of an oversimplification. It really depends on workload, if you're running the exact same code on the exact same processor for sure. But there's a heap of other factors including the actual memory consumption of apps depending on the architecture and language they're compiled for/with, as well as speed to fill memory from disk.

        In general native arm apps use much less ram. I wouldn't buy an Arm processor if most of what I did was x86 based, because then you'd be right.

        Personally I'd not buy less than 16GB (hell 32GB more likely) but seem to manage fine with 8GB at work on an M1 despite struggling with 32GB at home on Windows.

        Regardless $1900 for a machine with 8GB is ridiculous, I don't think this is a great deal.

        In terms of specs though, it's absolutely fine for most people if they're not opening 500 million tabs or require non-native software. Ideal to remote into something more powerful on the go. :o

        Personally I'd try and hold out for a second gen revision in terms of specs if not desperate. Or go for the Pro models for the better screen if ok with a touch more weight and a lot more $$$.

      well, macOS Monterey has memory leak issues, in fact my mac would hang when open bunch of chrome tabs and Final cut/or Premiere. Yes it's 16GB RAM and couldn't see it's noticely better than my current Surface 16GB RAM.
      Not sure how could you did the measurement lol, got any sources at all?

    It's ridiculous. Macs, just like IOS devices, are only marginally more RAM efficient than their competitors, but because Apple always underspec RAM they regularly run into memory problems.

    My IOS/iPadOS devices are forever reloading Safari tabs and background apps and have done so since my first Apple device (iPad 3) and continue on my iPhone 12 Pro with 6GB of RAM.

    It's such as shame as they are great devices in every other area.

    Meanwhile, my hackintosh 4k+ touchscreen laptop is capable of 64Gb Ram… at half the price.

  No one is buying these 13" m1 models because of 14"

    The 14" models are at least 50% more in cost though. Unless you really are looking at a laptop in the high $2xxx range, this model will still remain popular (although arguably the Macbook Air M1 is better in value)

    My company is, and very happy I chose the mac when they offered, the minimum quality on the mac is a lot better than what they're getting away with as minimum quality on the PC :o

      Idiesel on 29/03/2022 - 07:12

      Agreed
      Very capable machines and great quality
      Just a bit pricey, but at 15% off, hard to beat IMO

    Not as far as I know. Wouldn't buy to run windows, as that will really really make 8 GB inadequate since you'd have to virtualize it and there's much less arm compiled windows software and no great performing cross compiler. Believe they've just got a Linux Distro going on it though, https://asahilinux.org/about/ - for the adventurous.

  8gb ram that gets shared with gpu in 2022 in a laptop that costs almost 2000$ is ridiculous!
