Paying 5-10% of purchase price for something which will not demonstrate commensurate value for the person paying the money is pretty stupid.
Good thing we're talking about paying 5-10% the purchase price for something that will.

Someone calm my fear and tell me I only need 4gb as long as the purpose of the computer will be limited to productivity, media consumption, and internet browsing, and will only infrequently touch final cut pro or any of the adobe suites. I will be upgrading in ~2 years or so, probably on Broadwell release, because this is not my main system.
It always starts like this. First they say "hey, Im just gonna use 2gb", sometimes they say "I wont even use 2GB daily". They even say "I will never use more then 2GB, I got this under control" Before you know it, they are using 4GB and then 8Gb and cant stop anymore
In other words, it's worth it because it's worth it. Brilliant. People can give their advice on this but the arguments in favour of it aren't universally applicable. There are people for whom the cost outweighs the benefit, plain and simple.
4Gb is not enough 10.8 love memoryHi, I am planning on getting a MacBook Air for my wife for christmas and i'm not sure if 2gb of ram will be enough or if i should get one with 4gb.
She will only be using it for web browsing and playing games like family farm and dragon city on facebook.
Will 2gb be enough?
If i got one with 2gb and it wasn't enough can i upgrade it or is it not replaceable?
Thanks.
....My girlfriends PC is still running Windows XP and she sees no reason to change. Women tend to have more important things to worry about!!
Wow. Yeah, women have no concept of those big, scary computers with all their buttons and lights. All I know is that when I push that one button when I see the Zappos picture, then the UPS guy brings me shoes. It's like magic or something.
What are these "applications" you keep mentioning? The OP clearly states that his wife wants to browse the web. 2GB will get her through 3-5 years of web browsing.
Agree - I'm somewhat amazed at how fast this 2010 base model is/feels for surfing the web. 2GB/64GB, 1.4GHz C2D
Yes, but RAM is a status symbol for a lot of people on Mac Rumors, most dont actually understand what it does, they just think that getting more is better.

Well i ended up getting a 2010 11" with 1.6ghz C2D, 4gb and 128gb.
Very happy with and i'm sure my wife will be.
Thanks for all the advice it was very helpful in deciding what to get.

NO.Not NEARLY enough. Unless you run Windows 98. Then, yes, it is enough.
