My opinion for what it's worth is 8GB RAM is no longer enough. I now have a 2021 14" M1 MBP with 500GB storage and 16GB RAM and I consider that adequate to my needs but I wouldn't suggest specs any lower looking into the next 5 years.

Hi Rod,

I agree, that's why I upgraded to 16 GB. Didn't increase the 256 SSD, because my iMac has 1TB SATA Store tHings I need to on that.

When my new MacBook Air arrives will be seeking advice on moving Applications, as always used Firewire in the past

Thanks for your response.

Jim
