[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1059673, member: 997"] I expect more commonality between different Apple devices going forward running on the same processor, so I doubt the RAM usage will be as much of a limitation as it used to be in the past, but I also think one would need to upgrade platforms sooner compared to current Intel based Macs purely based on the processor performance leaps that we see every year from Apple on ARM (Intel, until recently, had been glacial in comparison). ARM also just announced their next gen CPU processor architectures so likely to kick off a new round of improvements and optimisations. Still guess it depends what you want to use it for, but software that is well optmised for ARM and Apple's own apps are likely to remain efficient when it comes to memory usage. I think you will probably be fine with 8GB unless there is an app that you currently use that demands the need for 16GB. I would save money now so I can upgrade in 3-4 years time. [/QUOTE]
