Honest question，but how do you live with 8GB or RAM? I have 16 now and I run out regularly without doing anything too crazy (though in large part because Emacs and CIDER leak memory like crazy)

Doesn't having to close background applications constantly absolutely maddening ?

You can get up to 24GB RAM on the Air.

did not know that! The Apple webpage somehow threw me off. Thanks. Would be a bit hard downgrade from a 16inch 3:2, but I'll keep it as an option if I need to get a new laptop at some point
