There are people who never touch anything but the browser and email. For them the SSD keeping some page files is good enough

That's no justification for selling a >$1,000 MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM, though. It's specifically marketed as a professional-class machine.

Yeah clearly the PRO part with just 8Gb of RAM is the problem.

Come on that’s what I have on my Surface Go 1 from 2019. It runs Linux perfectly and is okay for my needs, but I wouldn’t put such specs on a PRO thing😅
