Some of my student have brand new 2024 Macbook Air with an amazing 8gb ram!! Those 1.5k$ computers struggle to do anything lol.
Are you sure they’re not just slacking off and claiming the computer is slow?
Sure, you’re not running multiple CAD programs on a base model Air, but it’s a perfectly capable machine for web browsing, Electron apps, Citrix, MS Office, PDFs, usual desktop stuff.
And the base model Air is less than a grand - if you’re spending $1.5k, you’re getting more than 8GB RAM.
Yes, I should specify. Macbook Air are perfectly capable of meeting all basic needs. I teach in music tech, we use software that can be asking (plugin, etc.) but nothing like serious video editing etc., and I've that several of his machines quickly struggle with heavy pro-tool sessions for example.. I'm not an Apple detractor on the hardware side (my m1 max is by far the best laptop I've ever had) but let's be serious, 8gb of ram is 2012's standard, not 2024. Also I'm in Québec, I think in CAD dollars but it's true that I exaggere a little bit lol.
