About damn time. I can understand the air being shipped with 8 gigs because it's a casual internet browsing machine (still sucks ass for the price). But the "pro" only coming with 8 is awful. And the M3 MBP that starts at $1600 dollars coming with only 8 is disgusting. Apple will even sell you a model for $1800 with 8 gigs of ram.

The 8 GB versions are mostly just there as a marketing trick. They know you need 16 GB and they hope that once you get to the order page, you'll be committed enough to spend the extra cash. You probably wouldn't spend the extra money if the base config had what you needed. They get to use the lower price for marketing while knowing the model you actually will buy costs hundreds more.
I bet it's 12.
