The debate surrounding the MacBook Pro/Air M3 with only 8GB of RAM has been a subject of ongoing criticism towards Apple. In a recent interview with Chinese media outlet ITHome, Apple executives Kate Bergeron, head of hardware engineering, and Evan Buyze, head of Mac marketing, were questioned about the adequacy of 8GB of RAM on the MacBook Air.
Buyze responded, stating that 8GB of RAM is sufficient for general tasks such as web browsing, streaming movies, messaging, photo editing, and basic video editing. He also emphasized Apple’s focus on gaming, mentioning the Game Porting Toolkit that facilitates game ports from other platforms to Mac. Notable games like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding have been successfully ported to Mac, along with popular Chinese games like Honkai Impact 3 and Planet Reboot.
TLDR: Apple executives defend 8GB RAM on MacBook Air for everyday tasks and emphasize gaming capabilities with successful ports of popular games.
