      Yup. My MacBook Pro for work has 16GB and I keep running out of RAM. I can’t fathom being limited to 8GB…

      I built a gaming PC for the first time since ~20 years ago. Decided to dump 64gb into it for no good reason other than ram is cheap and I figured I might as well.

      8gb…jeebus.

        I did the same thing. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can get for a PC, but Apple will charge triple the actual cost to maximize profits.
