Apple has announced that 16GB of RAM is now the minimum for the M2 and M3 MacBook Air, aligning it with all other new computers introduced.
The removal of the $200 upsell for 16GB of RAM in the MacBook Air makes Apple's cheapest laptop more competitive in the market.
In 2016, Apple similarly raised the minimum RAM to 8GB for its 13-inch MacBook Air, indicating a trend towards higher RAM across its line.
With AI models requiring ample RAM, the transition to 16GB as the baseline for all new Macs reflects the growing demands of modern software.
