People are, just not PC spec heads that like to compare numbers. Practical use is the only real comparison.

    Actually the opposite is true for a basic spec. like RAM. People may not understand CPU/GPU naming conventions. BUT they understand something simple like 16>8.

    They also understand their "old slow" PC probably had 8gb and they want to UPGRADE so when they see this "new" mac with same amount of ram they immediately think slow whether it is or not...

    Some of the YouTubers comparing the new MacBook found that the 16GB Air smoked the 8GB version for creative tasks and rendering, but they found no difference between 16 GB and 24GB. Seems like Apple could up the RAM to 12 GB and see a big improvement.
