Do you feel worried that Apple only offered 8 GB RAM as Max knowing that in 2-4 years, 16 GB will be standard?
I guess you aren't worried because you're just using the air for some light applications. I'm worried because I'll be using it for adobe master collection, final cut and aperture.
Then you probably should be using a MBP anyway IMO

I find it outrageous we can't have 16gb. It's racist to mba's to be held down just because they're labeled as small laptops. Equality for all laptops!

Nope. The MBP isn't thin enough. The top priority of my computer will always be the looks. That's what made me switch to Mac in the first place.
I want you to march with me declaring equality for laptops, women's rights, and racial harmony. We must overcome.
Would be nice if it could hold 16, but i'm fine with 8. Not sure if there is a tech limitation, but if it were possible to configure the rmbp to 16 and the air I'm sure it would effect sales some.

People just like to whine. Doesn't os x preload Commonly used apps? I bought 8gb, but for my next laptop i couldn't see myself buying more. For Photoshop and bridge 8gb is overkill.
Hell, my gaming desktop which i edit tons of raw photos on and do heavy matlab work on only has 4gb. I've yet to run out on that.
I think perhaps it's a usage problem. My tech illiterate mother complains her i7 desktop is slow. I'll occasionally see what she means when i visit, and she'll have 250 raw photos open and about 80 Web browser pages. of course that's slow.
Use the computer intelligently and you'll have no problem with it.
In the future of course requirements will go up as we use higher res video or cameras, but for now 8gb is more than plenty.
