    As the title suggests, I have a 13-inch Macbook Air M2 that I bought last November. Overall, it's the best computer design I think I've ever owned, but it's also the worst-performing.

    M1 MBA owners with 8Gb... any regrets not getting 16?

    I have always been a believer in never going light on RAM in a computer. So far my 8gb in the MBA seems like it is enough. But I keep thinking long term would I have been better off with 16?
