No Apple Intelligence, but my Macbook Air M1 with 8 GB of RAM is plenty usable still

It supports Apple Intelligence, all 8gb iPhones and iPads support Apple Intelligence and the promo materials for this Macbook Neo say it supports Apple Intelligence as well.

They were referring to their M1 not being able to support Apple Intelligence.

8 GB M1 MacBook Air does support Apple Intelligence.

Yes it does. I was clarifying what the commenter was saying; not making his statement myself.

akmarinov said their M1 doesn't support apple intelligence but they still think it's plenty usable; jasongill thought akmarinov was referring to the Neo and responded that the Macbook Neo does in fact support Apple intelligence; and I clarified what I think akmarinov intended to say.

correct, I thought he meant that the Neo does not support it, since his M1 Macbook does support Apple Intelligence but perhaps he's not aware of that or hasn't updated yet.

You are correct i indeed thought that you need at least 16 GB to support Apple Intelligence and I thought Neo doesn’t support it.

I stand corrected.
