Maybe they started to include 16gb this year, but I can assure you that the basic model recently came with only 8gb ram. I’ve had dozens of students with those in the past couple of years. Right now, a basic M3 on Apple.ca is 1449$ CAD. .
Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better
lud@lemm.ee 1 day agoYou sure about that? I got my work to buy me a new one very recently because I need a new one for testing stuff (my main machine runs Windows). I choose the cheapest one available, because I don’t need a Pro model or anything. I also prefer a light computer since I often carry around both the Mac and my Windows machine in my backpack.
The cheapest M2 or M3 MacBook Air I could find had 16 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage. It’s only 999 USD which is quite cheap compared to my Windows laptop.
Where do you get your numbers from?

There was a recent Lemmy post saying Apple had just raised their minimum RAM specs to 16 GB. I think I came across this in the last couple weeks. I didn’t do more than skim the comments since I don’t have any products from them.

Erm, actually, the Pi 5 can do 6 monitors with a dGPU attached. Jeff Geerling just did a video about using AMD cards with the PI.
