[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1911578, member: 56379"] RAM is definitely not upgradeable. This really depends on what sort of photo editing someone is doing...and how many photo editing apps are open at the same time. Someone who's an amateur or semi-professional photo editor...and maybe only has 1-2 photo editing apps open at the same time...would probably have no issues with 16GB RAM. Someone who's a professional photo editor with many photo editing apps open at the same time...there's probably not limit to how much RAM, SSD storage, or CPU/GPU power they can get. My main point is...stating that 16GB of RAM is "[I]not enough for effective photo editing[/I]" covers a lot of ground (amateurs to professionals). I'm sure 16GB RAM is fine for many folks (I'm sure many folks do ok with 8GB RAM)...but 16GB RAM may not be enough for professionals (who need to crank-out the photo editing projects quickly to make $$$$ to pay the bills)!:) I will say that I've seen many many YouTube reviews of the new M1 based Apple computers. Many of these video reviews have involved both photo & video editing (at the semi-professional/professional level). Many of these videos conclude that almost any M1 based Apple computer with 16GB of RAM absolutely blows away any previous Intel based Apple computer (including 2020 MacBook Pro's). Even the M1 Mac-Mini! Maybe it's time to upgrade to an M1 based Apple computer!:) Nick p.s. Thread moved to better area. Definitely a hardware discussion (was originally posted in the macOS area).:) [/QUOTE]
