This is a confusing comment. If your mother doesn't need more than 8GB RAM, why should she have to pay for more? It's not as though you can't order more if you want it.

It wouldn't force the industry to offer more. It would just mean purchasers such as your mother wouldn't buy a Mac.

You can't upgrade it on new Mac laptops. The ram is basically fully integrated in the system now.

You can do 16gb for silly high price, but that's also not massive these days.

Agreed, but I'm talking about ordering more initially. As in it's not a bad idea to have 2 options instead of one.

Let's not pretend decent amount of RAM is prohibitively expensive.
