[QUOTE="liamcullen6, post: 1805169, member: 401021"] My current early 2015 MBPr only has 8GB of RAM - if I were to opt for 16GB RAM in the 2018 MBA, would this mean I should expect greater multitasking capabilities in the 2018 MBA over my current 2015 MBP with only 8GB? If the answer to that question is yes, then I don't think I'll need the 16GB as my current 8GB of RAM does the job ideally. I am tempted to upgrade the base storage, however Apple charges a fortune for increased storage, so perhaps external storage is best - as you suggest. And is 8GB in the MBA likely to mirror the multitasking performance I have currently with my 2015 MBP? Or will 8GB of RAM in the 2018 MBA seem lesser than it does in my current 2015 MBP since it has a weaker processor (1.6GHz vs 2.7GHz)? Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
