Curious MacBook Air 256gb with 8gb ram is enough to use? Maybe for normal use and light weight coding

Based on the reviews, the 8gb ram machine performed better than the 16gb intel version in photo editing software.

So it's safe to say that the new 8gb ram is the new 16gb while 16gb is the new 32gb...  icon_idea.gif  innocent.gif

About the 256gb storage, should not enough.  tongue.gif

Should be no problem. But my opinion is to upgrade to 16gb for long run usage.😆

I think 8GB is good enough to use for the next 5 years....just my thoughts...

I do have concerns on 8GB RAM especially come to open/working on huge Excel file. Considering the machine instructions are different now with ARM, i think RAM will make less sensitive compare to the X86 framework OS.

Thanks guys, appreciated your comments.
I plan to use 1 or 2 year, because MBP entry model seems not worth for me. Plan waiting next gen high end MBP to become my main heavy workstation.
