I just bought an M2 MBA for work. With my budget (which I don’t control), I had to choose between not having enough RAM or not having enough storage. I chose to slim way down on what I have on the laptop rather than sacrifice memory, since I can use USB storage if I really need to.
But the real question I have is why I had to make the choice at all. 16GB is the absolute minimum I can accept because I need to run a Windows VM (which now takes up 10% of my hard drive) fairly frequently. Nothing should be sold with 8GB. I should have been able to get the 512GB storage and the 16GB memory for what I paid.
In unrelated news, this is my first Air since they went to the new design.
Do not like.
The tapered edges of all previous versions of the Air made it really easy to slip into a bag with a bunch of papers or whatever; now it gets stuck on things like a Windows laptop.
