Yeah 8gb of ram is unusable for most things.

Most notably web browsing which one would think this thing is mostly for.

What is wrong with your computers that 8GB is unusable for a browser?

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Probably Windows.

Tab hoarding I would guess.

Nah chrome (worst case scenario) with about 80 tabs total on a M1 Air w/8gb is okay, I see it often doing IT support. This should be a bit better. A18pro is pretty efficient.
