    Apple Intelligence: How much RAM does it actually use?

    I’m going to order a new Mac mini, and obviously the base RAM is now 16gb. We can assume this is to help out with AI in macOS rather than Apple being extremely generous. But how much RAM does AI actually require even at minimal use or idle? This seems like an unknown quantity at this point. I...

    iPad Pro Battery Life Predictions. M1 vs M2 IPad Pro 8 GB Vs 16 GB

    Which IPad Model do you think will have the best battery life? Looking more into it, I believe that the 16 GB model for the M2 is going to have a much shorter battery life due to the IPad having to work more; however, I think the 256 GB and 512 GB M2 models might be the sweet spot as they have...

    Help me decide! 8GB or 16GB?

    In the past, I have always gone with max RAM and low storage. Too many tabs open on Chrome and Safari, some Photoshop, lots of Excel sheets. With the M1 is 16GB needed or can I get away with 8GB?
