I am looking at a Mac Mini - I dont think I need an M-Pro chip but I cant wrap my head around the idea that 8gb RAM is enough for pretty much any computer at this point assuming you want to have it last more than a year or two. Is my vast experiance in Windows configurations clouding my judgment here? do I really need 16GB on the M-class side of the world or has Apple figured out a way to make things not get bottlenecked by swapping, even to NVME/PCIE based flash, its still a bottle neck. I dont want to end up with a brick 2 years from now because I was too cheap to pay the (very over priced) $200 for 8gb extra ram, but on principle i dont wanna spend that much extra on ram.
My planed useage is for all the basic computer stuff and maybe some media creation - When i had my Mac Mini / Macbooks (2004-2019) i loved Garage Band and am considering stepping up to Logic Pro. Not sure if that would need the ram.
