For the target audience - students; old people; casual users - this is a great little laptop.
"It is limited to 8gb." Yes, yes it is. Oh noes the mobile-chip-powered laptop can't edit 4k video AND import raw photos simultaneously as fast as the $2000 laptop?
Lmao.
I can get behind the idea that 8GB is enough for light use and web browsing and what not - but that would be forgetting how everybody mocked (Mac users included) the low base amount of RAM Apple sold its baseline models with just two years ago - which pressured them into going with 16GB as their new baseline (supposedly for their AI features, but not just that).
That said, yeah the chip is impressive for what it's positioned to do at that price point, and 8 GB is ok but not great - it's safe to say Apple will likely bump that to 12GB in a future revision.
What I'm personally finding hilarious right now is how all tech enthusiasts are jumping on this and validating this even though they are not the target audience. It's a toy to these folks, but Apple is precisely counting on them to praise the product to would-be buyers - setting very weird and misplaced expectations regarding long-term use, gaming, and the like because those praising it are using it as a sideline rather than a primary computer.
It's also putting the non-pro iPad line in a weird spot, but that's Apple's problem - they did this to themselves.
So anyway, it's mostly positive, it's not a bad product, but people should know what they're buying instead of blindly trusting reviewers/influencers' spin on it.
