Running 2011 macbook as mostly daily driver, was daily driver for much of its life, has run linux most of its life.

The only thing keeping me from getting apple silicon right now is 8gb of ram. I mean I don't even have an option to upgrade. i don't care how much apple has optimized the architecture. If you make your is require like 4gbs idle, 8gbs is not enough for the other stuff I use. Also the fact that they don't even offer 1tb memory sub 2k right now is a joke. I know they milk people but this is ridiculous.

The M1 Apple laptops are available with 16gb of ram?

I'm saying I don't even have an option to upgrade to 16gb ram.

I'm under the impression they launched it primarily with the new macbook airs because they're entry level, lower priced, and wanted to test the waters with the new architecture.
