There's nothing "Pro" about 8GB RAM. It's time for Apple to break the piggy bank and start defaulting to at least 16GB for a Pro desktop device. It's like they are sitting on a mountain of 4GB chips.

Maybe what Apple should do is make the 16GB model the default. Then when you configure the computer you can get a price reduction if you remove 8GB RAM. It would cost Apple nothing and shut down all the complaints that 8Gb is not enough.

I can just hear it now if they made 16GB the smallest amount you can buy "Apple is forcing us to buy more RAM than we need, it is nothing but greed."

Changing the default amount could make everyone happy.

But you know what? Most people who buy the "pro" are not pros. They are only shopping on Amazon and watching YouTube. For a large segment of buyers, the Apple M-series of any model is overkill.

Yet another sale? Did Apple pull an Osborne by announcing the M4 and all that AI goodness? Now nothing else will sell?

I write professional consulting reports on this 8GB Macbook Pro m3. What is not "pro" in my reports?
The point is that every other laptop on planet earth in this price range has at least 16 GB of RAM or more. There is no defending this. It’s Apple greed of the highest order.

Never anything on sale with a workable amount of storage capacity. Can barely fit all my apps on 1 TB, let alone room for documents.

And a consumer that doesn't know better won't realize if they upgrade their M1 or M2 14" to a M3 they will get half the memory, half the ports and less of a SoC
Nah. That’s a reach
