I've received a lot of questions from viewers about which version of the newly released 2020 M1 Macs they should get - 8GB or 16GB of RAM? In this video I discuss why you're probably fine with the 8GB memory models.There are only 2 reasons you should upgrade to the 16GB - if you have the money and can afford it, or you're doing a LOT of heavy video editing, rendering, 3D modelling, photo editing, or you're a developer. I discuss things such as editing, rendering, and 4K playback on programs such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro.I go into detail with relation to multitasking and general everyday use, including having many Chrome tabs open and using Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). Gaming is also a possibility, with popular games such as Fortnite, Dying Light, and Tomb Raider all playing at respectable fps. Photo editing and manipulation in Photoshop and Lightroom is a breeze, although you may want to upgrade to the 16GB version if you're doing anything hardcore.
Op mijn MBP 15" mid 2015 met 16 Gb RAM op Mojave zit ik met een paar doodnormale app's open al vaak tegen de 12 RAM aan gebruik aan.
Interessante video! Op mijn MBP 15" mid 2015 met 16 Gb RAM op Mojave zit ik met een paar doodnormale app's open al vaak tegen de 12 RAM aan gebruik aan.
Op mijn MBA met 4 GB met een paar doodnormale app's open zit ik al vaak tegen de 4 RAM aan gebruik aan...Oftewel: dit zegt toch helemaal niks, Max?!
Is the base MacBook Air M1/8GB powerful enough for you?Last year I picked up a very expensive computer — a top of the line 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro upgraded to an i9, 1TB of storage, and 16GB of RAM. But I just couldn’t wait to see how these M1 chips actually perform, so I decided to pick up the base $999 MacBook Air to see how it would hold up side-by-side with my 16-inch behemoth. The results are incredible.When these computers launched — and early reviews confirmed their performance blew everything else out of the water — I faced a bit of a predicament. Like many others, I’m coming from a 16-inch MacBook Pro, so there’s no obvious upgrade path. For now, Apple Silicon is only available in 13-inch models.But I couldn’t help myself — I had to check these out at least, and if I’m not buying an outright replacement for my daily machine (yet), it just made the most sense to go with the cheapest notebook model. If nothing else, I’d get an idea of what Apple’s entry-level laptops are like and I could write this article.I almost didn’t do it; if you’re anything like me you probably can’t help but cringe at the idea of spending over a thousand dollars on a computer with just 8GB of RAM. But I’m here to report that not only does this machine more stuff at once better than my 16-inch i9 MacBook Pro for normal everyday use, it’s significantly better. Everything makes it obvious that Apple spent serious time optimizing every corner of Big Sur for Apple Silicon — and perhaps equally so put its Intel machines on the back burner.meer ...
@Max: Wat Flix wil zeggen is: macOS probeert goed gebruik te maken van AL het geheugen dat in je Mac zit. Als je 16GB hebt, zul je op enig moment zien dat dat ook daadwerkelijk in gebruik is, bijvoorbeeld voor disk cache. Idem met 8GB. Of 4GB. etc.
