Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era (www.macrumors.com)

About time. This also applies to their older models such as M2 and M3 laptops.

In the U.S., the MacBook Air lineup continues to start at $999, so there is no price increase associated with the boost in RAM.

The M2 macbook air now starts at $1000 for 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. Limited storage aside, that's surprisingly competitive with most modern Windows laptops.

Makes sense for sysadmin or something but little sense for developers and engineers writing code to build enterprise software.

As a developer writing code who used windows to ssh to linux servers I would disagree. But of course it depends on the company and the nature of the work, just offering my experience

What are you writing code for?

I literally can’t think of an example where ssh’ing into a terminal is going to give good workflow. Just using Nano or Vi?

Like no IDE.

Piping VSCode Server through SSH is pretty nifty.
