I don't know. I really wish I hadn't listened to the conventional wisdom that 8GB of ram is fine in the M1.
I should have known better, but now I'm stuck with an expensive proposition to upgrade because my memory pressure is constantly yellow/red. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't even really "need" a Mac. It's photos, Banktivity, iMessage, a few safari tabs. I feel like I am always having to close background apps to keep my memory pressure in the green. Apples support page says yellow/read means you need more memory. It's a shame, because the computer does run fairly well, I am just thinking that a long term purchase... it wasn't a good investment as Macs before. Not to mention, resale is in the toilet so trying to recoup...
All that to say, the MBA is a poor value when you get a decent amount of SSD and memory. M1 Pro 14" sales are regularly just a little bit more.
