8GB of RAM is unusable for even basic 1080p video editing. I would think a Macbook air's use case included that, because there are a wide range of $700 Windows laptops that will provide the 16GB minus the extortionate markup.

A little while ago I asked on HN if an M1 with 8GB of ram is enough for major 4k editing in FCPX and multiple people chimed in to say they're using that exact setup and it's smooth as butter...

I'm using 14.79GB of ram with just imessage, signal and 3 edge tabs open on Mojave. With 8gb you're almost certainly constantly swapping.
