minus-squarealeph@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoThere are multiple videos showing how the M3 MacBooks struggle with 8GB of RAM compared to 16GB when it comes to 3D rendering and 4K editing, though. Sure, 8GB gets the job done but why are Apple selling “professional” grade laptops in this price range that clearly require additional memory to reach peak performance?
minus-squarescorpious@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoPoint taken! Clearly more is always better. Don’t have any experience with the M2 or 3. I’m just adding a personal experience with having the minimum be plenty to get big jobs done.
minus-squaretsonfeir@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoI get more because I know I’ll need more. I don’t get less and then complain I should have gotten more even though I knew I couldn’t upgrade later. Really, Apple just shouldn’t have said what they did and they wouldn’t be in hot water.
