OP here. Well after much soul searching, ame good advice here, I decided to go all in and cancelled the 8G memory version and ordered the 16GB version. I also upped the SSD to 1TB.
Why you say? Well this is to be a birthday, wedding anniversary, and retirement gift for my spouse. She tends to hang on to laptops a long, long time time. So I thought I’d do a little future proofing, as well as add more SSD storage so maybe I can use it once in awhile (ha, we shall see if that ever happens)
if this gift fails to please what is Apple’s return policy? If I decided to keep it for myself, I’d probably giggle too much while web couch 🏄
