El Paso, Apple have categorically stated that you need at least 12 GB ram to run Mac OS 27 to its fullest AI capabilities, so by extension Apple are saying 8 GB devices cannot run OS 27 to its fullest. It doesn't end there as some older pre M3 devices with 16 GB ram cant fully run it either.
I already said I agree with this (see post 49) 🙂 - - however in post 45 you seem to indicate that an 8GB machine will be incapable of running 27 at all. Your quote: "Yes but it doesn't really matter if people think 8GB is enough, Apple themselves have deemed it not enough as Mac OS 27 needs 12 GB ram to run fully." 8GB actually is enough for what the Neo is intended to do; and the version of 27 coming down to the Neo will run it correctly.

It's just like iOS on Eye Phones. The version of 26.5 on a 17 is not the same as the version of 26.5 on, say, a 15. But both versions of the OS run their respective devices to their "fullest".

El Paso were just splitting hairs here, enjoy your Neo I know you really like it thats what matters, and good thing you brought it earlier as all the prices have gone up now.
