Apple introduced the MacBook Neo at a low price point with only 8GB of RAM. Windows PC manufacturers now follow this trend by offering similar configurations starting at 8GB.
Windows PC makers adopt similar low memory configurations following initial criticism of Apple’s entry-level laptop.
This shift targets general use laptops running Windows 11. The change reflects broader market adjustments driven by memory shortages and strong sales from Apple’s entry-level model.
Windows PC advocates argue that 8GB handles everyday tasks adequately on the current operating system. Gamers and professional users may still find this amount insufficient for demanding workloads.
The move positions Windows laptops closer to Apple’s base models in terms of memory configuration. Market trends show Apple’s MacBook Neo and Windows PC makers aligning on low-cost, 8GB RAM configurations following initial criticism of the base model’s memory capacity.
