discussion 16GB is the RAM default for all M4 based Mac's

[Marzipan]

16GB is the minimum RAM, but they still stayed with a 256GB in the entry model...but for $899.00 that's not terribad, however, asking for $250 to upgrade to a 512GB SSD? that's a war crime!

16GB ram just isn't enough anymore for most things beyond a web machine.

agreed, but in general it makes for a more pleasant experience all around.

I recall the m1 had some serious issues with low memory skus basically destroying drives due to page use issues or something like that. We're those problems resolved?

Remember Apple said 8GB behaves like 16GB so 16GB must behave like 32GB!! /s

We can hate on Apple but their MacBooks are the gold standard right now.
