A lot of developers and video editors use Macbook Air and 24GB is what is considered sufficient for them. They buy into Macbook Air for portability reasons.

Windows laptops on the other hands hold incredibly well at 16GB of RAM. There are also windows laptops with the same weight as Macbook Air at half the cost and double the specs.

FYI, using the names of Apple products without an article ("a MacBook Air") or pluralization ("MacBook Airs") makes you look like an asshole. Probably not intentional on your part though!

Sorry but I was referring to all Macbook Air laptops as a whole, as a single brand here, rather than one specific device. I think that is acceptable.

Would you say "A lot of developers and video editors use Thinkpad X1 Carbon"? No. usually it'd be "Thinkpad X1 Carbons" or "a Thinkpad X1 Carbon".

"makes you look like an asshole" might be a slight overstatement here...
