It depends of the capacity you select, for more than 1GB storage, you get 16GB of RAM. For less than that, you got 8GB.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No - it is std. you as a user do not control this, but rather, the storage level automatically controls this. 16GB for 1TB and 2TB models and 8GB for anything lower than 1TB model. It is Apple’s configuration - I am guessing to cache more with higher storage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.8GB is a solid starting point for most, opting for 16GB or even 32GB ensures smoother multi-tasking and helps future-proof your system. For example, with 8gb ram, you'll be able to browse the web, listen to music, write school papers, and play some light games. With 16gb ram, you'll be able to run all of the above at the same time. so, it depends on what you intend to do but over time you will notice the difference
