The annoying thing is I have had people claim that 8GB and 16GB is fine on Apple and works better than on PC laptops. To the point one redditor point blank refused to believe I owned an Apple laptop. I literally had to take a photograph of said laptop and show it to them before they would believe me about the RAM capacity.
I own a 8GB MacBook Pro for work, it’s definitely better than a PC with 8GB of RAM, but not better or even close to a PC with 16GB. Just the amount of stutters/freezes while the swap file goes is insane
Maybe this is true if you use Windows. If you use Linux on your PC versus macOS on a MacBook you will probably find the PC performs comparably if not better.
A Windows application and a Mac application will use pretty much the same amount of memory regardless of operating system.
The real issue is how much memory the OS uses up. Windows is a massive waste of RAM but not enough to make any difference, certainly not with 8 GB versus 16 GB. You’re still better off on PC then.
Whoa, that’s like 32GB of Windows RAM. Seems excessive to me tbh

Until you open a web browser or an Electron app. Them folks don’t really seem to give a shit about RAM usage.

That’s probably all the telemetrics in Windows taking their toll.
You should have said “sure buddy” and ignored them.
The problem is they will then keep spreading misinformation.
And that’s your problem? Do you hold $AAPL
