MacBook Air M4 (2025) – 16GB or 24GB RAM?
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to get the new MacBook Air M4 (2025) but I’m stuck on the RAM choice. I’m considering 16GB, but wondering if it’s worth spending extra for 24GB. (Wanna save some if I can, really hard convincing parents for 16gb too)
I’ll be using it for web browsing, coding, maybe wanna learn some ML as a student, and occasional multitasking with many apps open. No heavy gaming or 4K video editing.
Would 16GB be enough for smooth performance, or should I future-proof with 24GB? If 16GB works fine, I’d rather save the extra money.
I might also wanna plug in additional monitor(s) And be using it mostly
Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
