    8 is too small. You load up a browser and a few tabs these days and you’re already almost full. Lots of webapps these days chew 400MB easy. Some I load use 1.1GB. For a single tab.

        It’s all in your use case. If you work for an office where your job requires you to do word processing and look at a single web page then yes it is.

        I don’t use Chrome. It’s just the way I work and research. Lots of tabs. I also have data from hundreds of machines where average ram usage is definitely around or above 8 GB.
