Will 8GB RAM be enough for college?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most students, yes. macOS manages unified memory efficiently. 8GB handles web browsing, Office, and light creative work. Upgrade to 16GB if you plan to: run virtual machines (CS students), edit 4K video, or use large datasets. The $200 RAM upgrade is worth it for STEM students.
