Compare the experience on that with any Mac (even an old intel one) with 64gb and you will understand instantly how important it is. Now go look at the 1000%+ markup they put on their ram and disk and you will see the problem.
But the change to a base 16gb only happened in 2024 so there's no conflict between your two observations.
I'm not denying that 8 GBs of RAM is too little.
My personal PC has 64 GB, my work PC has 16 and the new work PC will have 32 GB.
8 GB is absolutely too little and apple absolutely charges way too much for more storage and ram.
I was just doubting their observation that new MacBooks from 2024 had 8 GB of ram. (They edited their comment. It said 2024 originally)
Btw, 256 GB is not that bad if all you do on your laptop is normal office work. When I looked for a new laptop this week, I had a fairly hard time finding a laptop which filled all of our requirements and had 1 TB of storage. Which is pretty insane considering that 1 TB is really cheap but I guess most don't need it.
