I’ve been wondering how much RAM to order on my MBA. I’m not a dev, but I do like to have many tabs open in Brave. I’m not made of money, but I don’t want performance bottlenecks. How much would folks recommend for heavy but nontechnical use? In case it matters, I’d be plugged to a 1080 display, so not a huge draw from the graphics side of things.
8GB with a 4K display connected was definitely not enough for me, but I also have a ton of tabs and a lot of stuff running at the same time. This kind of use seems much better with 16GB. You may be able to get away with 8GB, but 16 may still be worth it for you.
