it looks like Apple is making 16GB of RAM the default standard for the M4 series.

about bloody time, but I'm fully expecting the starting price to be more than ridiculous now.

Apple may switch to 16GB of memory as default for new M4 series — test machines hint at a transition even on the base model

Apple previously insisted that 8GB on a Mac was 'analogous to 16GB on other systems.'

I hope by the time MacOS stop X86 support is the day I don't have to support my family's Hackintosh. For mobile use, there's not a lot stopping regular people from just using Mint Linux, especially if they use a lot of Google online office stuff.
