That doesn't help with memory hungry apps though.

There are people who never touch anything but the browser and email. For them the SSD keeping some page files is good enough

That's no justification for selling a >$1,000 MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM, though. It's specifically marketed as a professional-class machine.

Yeah clearly the PRO part with just 8Gb of RAM is the problem.

Come on that’s what I have on my Surface Go 1 from 2019. It runs Linux perfectly and is okay for my needs, but I wouldn’t put such specs on a PRO thing😅
