Not at all.Should be enough for the home and college user?
I am not a pro. I had the 8GB M1 Pro. A pro device, for a guy like me, should be overkill. It was anything but, my ram usage was constantly in the yellow and sometimes red in the memory pressure in activity monitor. I wondered why it didn't seem as "snappy" as everyone said it would be. We are talking about running mail, messages, safari a few tabs, music, podcasts, tv, calendar, personal finance spreadsheet in numbers.
I would have to keep things closed, remember to close apps in the background regularly or I would live in the yellow to red memory pressure range. Per Apple Support, if you are often in the yellow it means you may need more memory.
I am not doing any pro level work right now on my 14" MB Pro M1. I have an eBay listing open, this page, my personal finance spreadsheet, mail, messages, music playing, and an apple support safari tab. Sometimes I have photos, calendar, notes, and reminders open. I never have to think about closing apps anymore. I am at 13.28 GB of memory used in the green. This Mac has never reached yellow memory pressure once, to my knowledge.
