8gb

  1. TheSynchronizer

    Seriously? 8GB used to be enough.. it's becoming less and less the case

    That doesn't even add up near to 8GB :D Meanwhile, Apple still sells base models just shy off a thousand with 8GB equipped. I gotta say, owning this laptop since new it's probably frozen on me less than 10 times. So overall great stability.. however messages like these worry me for the future.

    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?

    Does macOS Catalina 10.15 fit in a bootable 8GB USB flash drive ?

    Previous versions up until Mojave 10.14 did fit in a bootable 8GB USB flash drive but when you download macOS Catalina 10.15 from the App Store it says is an 8.09GB download so I guess it won´t fit in an 8GB USB flash drive. Has someone already tried to make a Catalina bootable USB flash drive...
