Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

Last year we reported on Apple's claims that 8GB on a Mac is like 16GB on a PC. It wasn't and still isn't, unsurprisingly. But now Apple is doubling down on the 8GB shizzle, claiming that it's "suitable for many tasks", including browsing, video streaming and even "light" video and image editing.

It remains, of course, the case that many entry-level models of Mac computers are still configured with just 8GB. That includes all MacBook Air laptops, the Mac Mini and most egregiously of all, the MacBook Pro 14.
