Why is everybody so obsessed with RAM?
Hello,
I was wondering about one thing and actually I've been wondering about for awhile: On reddit and on other sites I see people constantly whining about 8GB of RAM and them blaming everybody else for getting the 8GB MBA, because some YouTubers said it's good. I've been using MacBook Air M1 with 8GB of RAM for awhile and I haven't had any issues yet and when I post screenshots of my RAM usage they are like: "Are you upgrading your machine every year?" etc. I mean… I used MacBook Pro mid 2010 for over 10 years and it served me well. It had 8GB of RAM, yet I was able to even make games for it for one company. I finished 3 games and if anything it actually taught me how to optimise the games. My main issue was when I was working on teams and the graphics card became an issue. I had to turn off all the lightning and disable particle effects, but it wasn't an issue of RAM. Also, it took me around 48 hours to export the game and I couldn't use my MacBook during exporting otherwise the whole thing would just crash, but when I checked Activity Monitor during the export it was rather the issue of CPU, not RAM per se.
Same on Windows. My coworkers were constantly about complaining about the ram on their work computers, so the management upgraded the RAM or the computers, yet I'm still using my work computer with 8GB of RAM with no issues at all. I do the same work as they do. I used to have an issue with my MacBook Air M1 where it would randomly shut down and restart itself when I first got it (running Big Sur), but that even happened when nothing was opened and I don't have any issues now. On my MSI laptop I had 8GB of RAM and yet I was able to use Visual studio and surf the web at the same time. I've never had any issues with RAM. The last time I had issues with the RAM was when I had 1GB of RAM, but even then I was able to survive.
Why do I constantly see people whining about the RAM? If you're not happy with it sell your 8GB MBA and buy a 16GB one. Why blame Apple for this? I even see PCs with 4GB of RAM for sale and some of them are around $700.
