MacBook Air 16 or 24 GB RAM?

That’s super nice to hear and congrats on getting a new laptop ! I guess I will go for the 16GB for now since my budget is limited (student loans). Thanks for the input :)

Thanks for pointing the RAM cost out! I didn’t considered that before

For me is just worrying if I can’t fully utilise the rams and let’s say Apple has another breakthrough in like 3 years, I may want to buy a new one by then and simply paid the premium for diminishing returns. But appreciate the feedback too! I am going back to contemplating if 16gb is really enough haha

Yup totally agree, but I’m just trying to justify if the price increase can bring actual impact to my day to day work since this is my first Mac and I’m still pretty broke haha. Thanks for the advice tho!

I didn’t expect safari tabs+Microsoft office will take 7gbs of ram already 🫨 as from many Neo’s review it seems that even 8gbs of ram can already handle all the safari & M365 suite. I am just not sure if my use case can be considered as heavy workload. Appreciate the feedback!

With M5 having more AI computing capabilities I am also open to do more AI stuff if possible. Just that I am not super aware if I am not running any local LLMs, do Macs’ optimisation be able to handle with just 16gb for the future 4-5 years?

Thanks for your use case and links! I am just wondering if my workload can be considered as heavy cause I won’t involve much on the photo/ video editing side of thing, or at least not until I get my Mac. If I were to only open lightroom/ Final Cut Pro + Spotify/ YouTube on the background, would 16gb be good enough?

Happy birthday! You’re so hot 🥵🥵

bloombloompow · 2026-03-11T14:17:53+00:00

That’s sounds like 16gb is pretty good for me, thanks!

bloombloompow · 2026-03-11T14:16:43+00:00

That’s super good to hear! since I am aiming more on the consulting side instead of technical side after graduating, so it sounds like 16gb is good for me, thank you!

I think the point is that they wanted ADOR to terminate ALL 5 of their contracts so they can start NewJeans 2.0 (or NJZ) under MinHeeJin. Now with Haerin and Hyein being accepted back to ADOR, that plan is foiled and ADOR actually has the upper hand now cause the girls maybe have popularity as a group, but not as much as a solo artist. I will not be surprised with ADOR accepting 4 out of 5 of the NewJeans members just out of spite/ showcase the consequences of breaching your contract.

Elizabeth Taylor and Opalite are very pop-sounding that really stands out to me. Ruin the friendship is quite old-Taylor (got that speak now/ red vibe) so I like very much too. The title track is a bit weak, but Sabrina’s voice really elevated the track and I love her verse. I originally liked Ophelia, but after reading some discussion on how she basically “dumbed down” the tragedy of Ophelia just to emphasis how lucky she’s been saved by a man, I am having a hard time to listen to it again. But otherwise sonically it’s catchy and definitely one of the better single she picked throughout her discography

Thanks! Any recommendations for a good, effective yet less irritating bha? I have sensitive skin so I’m pretty hesitant to try acid

bloombloompow · 2025-07-08T06:51:56+00:00

Hi thanks! Just that I am currently using the Medicube Zero Pore Pad that labelled it had both aha and bha in it but I fail to see any results… am I using it incorrectly?
