Everytime I see all those colors, I wish they did that with the Macbook Airs.

8GB/256 ain't cutting it these days. That's fine in the phone world.

Minimum 16GB/512GB for any Mac I buy these days.

Edit: My mistake it's 16GB RAM, that's great -- but 256GB is pretty minimal.

Someone should sell color matched NVMe enclosures to attach to the back

My Mini M4 with booting fully off an NVMe TB enclosure worked flawlessly and was as fast/faster than the internal base SSD.

I did over a month of usage that way

A perfect way to avoid the Tim Tax

It’s absolutely crazy that in 2024 they will try to sell you 8/256 for premium price. Shameful

I and wish they would make a Silver (or Space Gray) version with black bezels like the MacBook Airs!

But oh so profitable. In those earnings threads, where we celebrate “another record quarter” and proclaim them geniuses, etc., tactics like this is how they do that. Geniu$e$!💰💰💰

8-core/256GB. There are literally no products with 8GB of RAM mentioned on this page.

The 256GB base storage - no disagreement there. I don't personally use much local storage, but it is a bit stingy

there are MBA cover cases available with even more colors

and no one forces you to buy the base grade. Actually 8/256 still wil get your job done though I agree its a way too minimalist configuration

 

[turbineseaplane]

It said 8 CORE, not 8GB, as highlighted above by @freedomlinux

A few people were commenting about 8GB and I was very confused as they all start at 16 now. Makes me wonder if they even read the post before making comments.

Most people don't bother reading. A few don't know what all that technical stuff if (What is a "GB" or a "core"?)

And you know what? The vast majority only run a web browser on the Mac and 8GB RAM is overkill for that.

I've helped a few people buy computers recently and believe me, the above is true. Without help, they would have shopped using the only feature they understood, price.

Those people might be interested in some of the Apple Intelligence stuff though
(thus needing more RAM)

These machines are mostly just used for email and web browsing, 8GB is fine for that. Your phone does way more and has 8GB

Except if you would read the article and the comments, this iMac has 16GB of RAM it is 8 core.

Good prices for the iMac, though it has only 256GB storage. But being a desktop can easily go for external drives for more storage space.
