I claim 90% of RMBP users will have page outs within the first week of use.[/
My graphic designers edit comercials for CNN, NBC, CBS for Petes sake with various pages and apps open and hardly go over 8gb of ram, if ever. They most likely are doing more taxing work than 98% of users. And they have 64 gb to work with. Yes if you try to use all your apps all at the same time and open 10 windows along with it you will use more ram. Is this a mystery?
Close a few apps, a few windows. How hard is that? Who opens every app imagineable at the same time? I got news for you. 8gb is alot of ram. 90 percent of users will never need it. Stop with the nonsense already.
If you dont know if you need it or not, you probably dont. If you do by all means get it. But most people dont. Those who do are the minority, not the majority.
