Okay, quoting OP: “Only 8GB ram in 2024” blah blah blah.
I came for the 8gb RAM.
macOS can handle anything with 8gb
pulled the trigger too early last week at $1609…
Call them, they might refund the difference
true if you buy from apple i think you have 2 weeks to return it did the same with the m2 air bought it and got delivered a week before m3 air release so i went to apple and they took it back and got the m3
I bought at OW… do you think there’s any chance?
Nope
Buy a new one, return it on the old receipt🤷♂️
That's a lot of porn tabs.
163 tabs to be exact. BUT it's not porn though
Because it is Windows. …
That looks like Activity Monitor in macOS
haha nope - running macOS. Although I do sometimes have Win 11 via Parallels running in the background too
Nice to see prices keep coming down, so now all the base Air are $200 differences:
M1 - $1097
M2 - $1297
M3 - $1497It's almost like apple planned it to be segmented or something…

$1879.06 for an as new (Display model) 16gb 512gb macbook air m3.. with code JULC2C
I know its not the same but a seriously good price for a decent upgradeNoting it's a single item listing.
yep first in best dressed situation
16gb with 512Gb SSD is $2097 if anyone interested
https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/macbook-ai…so $600 for 8gb of ram and 256gb bigger ssd… apple tax hits hard
With back to school $240 gift card and M4 around the corner, $300 difference isn't that attractive.
More than five months is around the corner? Back to school for you.
Crowdstrike protection deal
I feel like the current perfect MacBook Air is the M2 version. It has the same design as the M3, the performance is enough for daily usage and the battery life is even longer.
M2 is better battery than M3? How?
Some video reviews showed that the MacBook Air with the M2 chip has a longer battery life compared to the one with the M3 chip.
That's awesome ! I bought macbook air m2 16/256 yesterday ! But i feel bad new M3 8/256 model is $140 cheaper than mine :'(
@Juhui: I believe Apple's strategy for phasing out electronic products relies on insufficient RAM to render older devices obsolete, rather than inadequate CPU performance.
@P1ter: Yeah. I agree. One more thing i don't like M2 256g SSD issues.
I heard M3 256G model fixed this issues .
So my question is when M3 8G/256G
Model memory swap more faster than M2 8/256 ? Because of ssd speed If yes?@Juhui: MacBooks with smaller storage capacities tend to have slower read and write speeds (likely due to using cheaper memory chips). My idea is to buy the computer and then have someone replace the SSD to improve the speed. This practice is quite common in China.
It's now the year 2035 Apple released their latest macbook air. Ram is now 12gb and ssd is 512gb
Meanwhile samsung phone.
4tb ssd
24gb ram
Mobile gpu with 2gb for gaming.
500 megapixel octa camera.Mobile gpu with 2gb for gaming
Damn that really lets the phone down
Supposed to be.*20
Was gonna say.. that’s a seriously underpowered GPU given the other specs!
8GB is better than 4GB! People luv a whinge
It's 2024 not 2004 😂
Wow! Price is getting really good.
Paid $1,612 with 16GB RAM grade back in March, but that was education pricing ($1,949), minus 5% discounted gift card, minus $240 bonus gift card (later used to buy an iPad).
Now $1,497 without any mucking about.
Where and how to get education discount on mac pro m3
You're not getting those three "blahs" with 8GB of memory. Maybe two before it writes to the SSD.

How much for 16gb model?
I am going to soon take delivery of the 128GB M3 Max as i was told 8gb was completely unusable
I don’t mind the 8gb, but I wish the Mac has a touch screen. After using surface pro I keep touching the screen when I don’t want have a mouse in bed lol
