The video makes it clear that professional creators should not buy the 8GB machine, but I have a feeling most professionals already knew this.
Nobody should be buying 8GB machine in 2023/4 that can’t be upgraded latter (ok, if it was some $400-500 laptop it could be discussed, but Apple is nowhere near that market segment), it’s effectively a ticking e-waste bomb. Given how Apple tries to push it’s environmental image and “shit just works” it shouldn’t even be offered at all, it’s purely cynical to do.
Using browser with few tabs and Lightroom isn’t a “Pro” usage at all.
Somehow in iPhones we went from 2GB to 6GB (6S to 14) in base model, but in same timeframe cheapest Apple laptop went from 8GB to 8GB (2016 MBA to current) and somehow it should be fine, while computers have real multitasking (excessive swapping would hide all issues from user and there’s no downsides to it, amirite?)
