I know this issue has been discussed to death, but as I was speci’ing out a MBA I became alarmed at how quickly things got expensive.
I decided to check the refurbished sales at Apple.com and found a 2018 base processor MBP with 512 ssd for LESS than the MBA I was about the buy. The only downside is that the MBP only has 8 GB of ram.
I am an academic and do mostly word processing, PowerPoint presentations and the like. Will I be hamstrung in a few years because I got a MBP with only 8 GB of RAM?

I realize that the answer to my question may be not to buy either. Thoughts?
