Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it

I replaced an M1 Pro with an M2 Air and have had nothing but improvements in my daily computing. Juggling Xcode, terminal tools, web browsers, Slack, Discord, music/podcasts, video streaming, video CALLS, all the background sync, email, VS Code, occasionally photoshop for flavor. It just doesn't slow down, at all, at any point.

The M series SOCs are just fucking absurd. In every space besides gaming and graphics, they utterly lap PC's. I don't even remember the last time my Macbook wasn't charged enough to use, and I use it away from my desk quite a lot. Moving from my office PC to a Macbook has felt like being flung 6 years into the future.

Same here. Turned in my 14" MBP M1 for a M2 15" MB-Air (1TB NVMe, 24G RAM). Lightweight, fast, excellent 15" screen. Hands down the best laptop I have ever had (and I have a stack of MBP boxes in my closet from the past 10yrs).
