Seems like landfill fodder with the memory at 8gb.

You are so wrong. macOS manages memory much more successfully than whatever you are used to.

I assume it's not Linux, because things are pretty good there too (aside from the poor behaviour when you reach OOM).

I guess it just depends where it goes. I've got about four windows machines with that much RAM and they are all getting Linux and second lives. Not sure if this will be possible with these.

There are plenty of 8GB M1 Airs that many people will likely still be using 10 years from now. For 90%+ of users a laptop is just a web browser machine.

I have one from the original rollout. I keep thinking about upgrading, but then I realize I'm just doing that because I want to buy something new, not because I need anything more powerful.
