[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1941663, member: 204485"] Running three browsers will certainly suck up a lot of resources not to mention two email clients. As computers have evolved to be faster and more efficient browsers and other apps have grown in their resource requirements so although the silicon SoC Apple computers are faster and more efficient than the old Intel processors with the same amount of RAM I still maintain 8 GB is not enough memory, 16 GB is only just enough for me and a "power" user probably needs 32 or more. As for useage, I can understand the occasional need for two browsers but three? Firefox can easily handle 20+ open tabs and you can use "Groups". For that matter so can Vivaldi and Brave and it's a lot lighter on resources as well as being a lot more secure than Chrome. [/QUOTE]
