God damn. 8GB on the Macbook Neo is going to be ROUGH if it's anything like my 2019 16" Macbook Pro.
On Sequoia my 2019 MBP used about 6GB when idle on the desktop. However after updating to Tahoe it uses ~8GB just chilling on the desktop, ~10GB once I open safari.
And my MPB has a dedicated AMD GPU, so it doesn't even need to use any of the RAM as VRAM, the Neo does use shared memory.
Unless the copy of Tahoe that ships on the Neo is tweaked in some way, that thing is going to have like 25% of its memory pool in swap while doing literally nothing.
