Generative AI has done one unambiguously good thing for PCs and Macs: 16GB of RAM
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
There was a story from a few months ago where I suggested 16GB should be the baseline memory configuration for pricey Apple computers because even consumer Windows PC's in the $600 and up range started coming with 16GB a few years ago. In 2024, 8GB shared with the GPU is simply inexcusable given the price and context.
A dyed-in-the-wool Apple fan who shall not be named here said it was unnecessary and accused me of wanting a free ride. They even pointed at list pricing for 8GB corporate laptops as a gotcha counterpoint. That user is not here right now because they're probably revising their talking points as we speak.
AI or not, this is long overdue.
