If your budget allows it I recommend a Thunderbolt 3 compatible dock as a long term investement. That said the M1 chip SSD is extremely fast and efficient so Big Sur makes extensive use of virtual memory and you can exceed the actual amount of physical RAM without even noticing it.īesides that you need to consider the MacBooks, at least the current models, have only 2 Thunderbolt ports, so whatever you need to do you'll have to either use WiFi or connect a dock with Ethernet, HDMI and/or DisplayPort, USB-C, USB-A, ports etc. OK, opening and quitting apps and saving docs is extremely fast on the M1 chip but it's a drag to have to do it often. So maybe LR will run with 8GB today but what about in a couple of years, five years, etc.? A Mac is a long term investment.Ĭonsider also that you will have several applications opened at the same time: LR, a browser, a mail app, a word processing, etc., that all hog the memory too. During the last decade while the size of the RAM steadily increased because it became cheaper, the applications took more and more advantage of it and unabashedly hogged it as if the memory was all theirs. Expensive but it's to stay on the safe side. Is 8G RAM enough for this ? or shall i get the 16G RAM ? I am planning to get a MacBook M1 mainly for Photos Editing using Lightroom and Photoshop.
