Q: Is the 8GB memory enough? I don't use the computer for business, games, graphic art, etc, only basic use. However, I have a lot of photos and genealogy information currently on my PC. I am unclear what the 8GB refers to versus the 512GB SSD storage.

A: 8GB RAM is more than enough for a non-tech person, it meets the performance needs for day to day uses. This 8GB is used to load the apps and programs while you are running them, on the other hand, the 512GB SSD represents the memory capacity for the photos/media and other data that you want to store permanently on your computer.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Game changer
The MacBook Air, honestly, is a game-changer. It’s super lightweight—feels like carrying a notebook. The M2 chip is fast and apps load in a seconds, and multitasking is a perfect feature. Plus, the battery life is amazing! I’ve gone hours working on projects without even thinking about charging even no worries of carrying a charger during travel. The downside is limited ports—wish there were more options without an adapter. Overall, this does not have much impact and easily ignored, loving it so far.

Amazing product!
I bought this Laptop a few months ago and absolutely love it! It has so many great features and it is very easy to use. I have used it to run my business, do schoolwork for college, and for my own personal use. It has far exceeded my expectations everytime I have used it! It is lightweight, has very fast speeds despite me having slow WiFi, amazing graphics and visuals, and you have the option to download other drivers to run different operating systems such as windows (I am running windows 11, opera gx, and the base operating system) as I said it far exceeded my expectation and came at a reasonable price considering!
