Re: 8 gigs or 16? Memory.
Hello, Because of the way browsers work, having a single thread per a tab, moving from an M1 to an M2 will probably not change your performance issues there. Of course there are many types of web site designs, from static to very dynamic. Some sites use HTML5 canvas and JAVASCRIPT to present animations that can be quite intense on that single CPU being used to handle the page, and yet canvas is totally inaccessible to screen readers unless there is a static content that is hidden behind / inside the canvas. What I am trying to say is that sometimes using ad blockers or performance enhancing software like stop the madness might provide much release with your busy indications. If you don’t feel like adding an application that has a browser extension, just turning off JS (easier done in firefox than in safari) might be enough for you to access the information you are searching for. Music is more of a concern though. Is this in the store section?

Re: 8 gigs or 16? Memory.
Since the RAM is not upgradable, go with as much as you can afford. My recommendation is to go with 16 GB, and future-proof your purchase. Same recommendation for the SSD storage, which is also not upgradable. I recommend a minimum of 512 GB SSD, and go with 1 TB if you can afford it. - Brad - On Sep 16, 2023, at 13:11, Traci Duncan wrote: Hi all, I was just doing a little more reading on MacBook Air M2, and a buying guide suggests upgrading to a 16 gig memory isn’t necessary for the average user.
