MBA 2018 and Lightroom

[dangerly]

Hello,
would like to buy a MBA and was wondering if it will be fit to run Lightroom with only 8 Gb of RAM.
Should i ask for 16 Gb instead? Or better yet go for a MBP?
Thank you

Looking as well. My plan was 16gb ram and 512gb hd.

I run Lightroom using 32Gb ram checking activity monitor I have seen it hit 19gb at times. Really not sure if this is normal or not, but it is quite ram hungry I believe.

Better go for 16 Gb then.
At home i use an iMac with 24 Gb ram and Lightroom runs smoothly.
Thank you

I run LR on 8GB and don't have any issues with memory. Usually I have a bunch of Safari tabs and iTunes open as well.
If I was buying new today I think I'd go with 16GB. But I've had no issues at all with 8GB and I'm sure you'd be fine with it.

The more you have the more it will use.
