Thankfully, the base model now has 16GB of RAM.
And 256GB of storage ποΈπποΈ
Honestly doesn't bother me that much, especially on a desktop. I have a large external hard drive for mass storage and an USB dongle that connects to an NVME drive.
Right now I'm using a desktop with Linux on it, but I've been debating replacing my desktop with a Mac (maybe MacBook or Mac Mini). I'd be fine with the small storage, what was really concerning me was the 8GB starting RAM and $200 upgrade to 16GB.
There's so much stuff that takes up storage on the main drive, like photo libraries etc. I know far too many people who always struggle with full drives and it's just not feasible for the average user to move stuff to an external drive constantly
Fair enough. It certainly benefits Apple if people with full photo libraries instead move those to iCloud with costly subscriptions.
Oh shit this might mean itβs finally time to upgrade
