8 GB of RAM is a hard no go.
8GB on a Mac is fine, you just won’t run any advanced LLM’s on it locally, which the vast majority of people won’t bother with anyway
The people that need more than 8gb are not the target market. This is for people that want a word processor, web browser and email. Not much more.
If you’re editing video, photos, etc you are not the market.
