apple announcing a macbook with a reasonable price was NOT on my bingo card in any timeline tbh

Actually tempted to pre-order a macbook neo, and that's fucking wild.
I dunno how macOS' ram usage is though, because 8GB of RAM is rough. On Linux it'd be no problem, on Windows it would be a catastrophe, but I haven't used macOS actively for quite some time.

Honestly think I will pre-order one, even if using macOS with 8GB ends up being rough, it seems like the kind of machine that's going to get amazing asahi linux support if i need to squeeze more out of it

@quad 8GB and no customization? Oof
I wouldn't go with anything less than 16GB nowadays. 8GB should barely be usable and it's gonna be obsoleted quickly

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @quad@akko.quad.moe with ram shortages i think we're gonna be seeing a lot of 8gb machines for awhile
@coolboymew @quad 16gb isn't enough if you want to play factorio and have a web browser open in the background (or just play factorio with a big enough mod like space exploration). i have no idea how windows users live, it must be a lot worse over there
