But Apple did that with the Intel Macs these new M1 Macs replaced as well.
Now, Apple does a lot with memory compression to fit as much into RAM as possible, with machine learning for intelligent memory management based on anticipated work patterns, and with fast SSD to make swap invisible to the point that most people won’t even know it’s happening if you don’t know precisely what to look for.
But that pool of memory is still limited to exactly what it says on the tin. It has a huge amount of performance and efficiency advantages that can’t be overstated. Unified memory just means the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine - all the compute - has access to that same pool of memory. If you think M1 Macs having unified memory will magically make them behave as though they have double the RAM. Over the course of 3 years, 5 years, more, though, it will more than pay for itself in both the potential of the Mac and the reduction of your personal stress and anxiety level. I get that 16GB costs an extra $200 up-front in the U.S., or around $17 more a month on installments, and that can be more money than you have handy. Macs last a long time, for years, and even if you don’t need 16GB now, you may need it eventually, and you cannot add more RAM to these Macs later.
