MBA 13 (2018), 128 storage, 16 ram or MBP 13 (1,4 ghz; 2019), 256 storage, 8 ram?
Considering the same lowest available price (here in me country) of 1600 USD for both, what option would be best and future proof if I’m not a video or photo editor, but I browse 15-20 safari tabs at the same moment, make notes, use messengers: MacBook Air 13, 2018 year, 2 cores, 128 GB...- Marinier

Is 8 GB RAM in base MBP 13 (1,4 ghz) enough for 4-6 years?
Hi. May the owners of a MacBook Pro 13 2019 (1,4 ghz) look at ram load right after a fresh boot of your Mac. I guess most of you have a base 8 gb model. And what RAM usage do you see when you use at least 6-10 tabs in a safari? I consider a 1,4 ghz MBP 13 as a perfect choice. I need it to be...- Marinier

iPad Pro 4GB enough for future iPad OS iterations?
I am very much in the market for an 11-inch 256GB iPad Pro but am holding off because of the 4GB ram and the possibility of the next iteration coming as soon as october.

MP 1,1-5,1 OWC RAM compatible with 2010 cMP but not 2009 cMP (1066 VS 1333Mhz?)
I ordered a set of 3x 16GB RAM modules from OWC and asked in advance explicitly whether it would work in my 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro 4.1 (2x 2.66Ghz), a machine I had ordered directly from Apple the day it came out and never upgraded since.

Has anyone tried 16GB in the Mid-2010 17" recently?
I have the Mid-2010 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 17" MacBook Pro with 8GB and I sure would like to have 16GB in it. Has anyone actually tried this under Mojave? I don't want to blow money, as the maximum I see everywhere is 8GB.- ScreenSavers

Does the 2018 Mac Mini iGPU use up system memory when the VRAM is full?
I just bought a 2018 Mac Mini, and I'm running an LG Ultrafine 5k display and an LG Ultrafine 4k display. So far the iGPU has been pretty bad at pushing that many pixels, but I'm not 100% sure if it's due to the speed of the iGPU itself or its lack of VRAM. I'm not running very graphics... -
Mac Mini RAM - 3rd party installation?
I'm looking to buy a new Mac Mini. I'd like 32GB RAM, but £540 seems a ludicrous amount to pay for it, given how much it costs elsewhere. I'm reading that installing RAM in these newer Minis is fiddly. Given that I'm not the most 'handy' of people, I'd rather not risk doing it myself. So this is... -
