@aaronpk Been thinking of swapping my 21.5" iMac for that M1 MacBook Air. I keep getting lured by upgrading to 16 GB RAM and/or the 512 GB storage, but I probably don't even need those! Does the 8 GB Air ever feel RAM-constrained?

Yeah I'm definitely maxing out the RAM and it always is using swap, and I do have to use external drives to work on any video projects because those are way too big for the internal drive. But at the time I bought it, it was clear there was going to be a new launch in the fall, so I didn't want to spend any more on the computer than I had to. But now, looking at the specs, the $1449 Air with 16/512 is a lot more appealing than the $4000 config I'd get on the Pro.
