MacBook Air 13.3″ - 4GB RAM Limitations
Hey guys,
I'll be visiting the US in the following days and since MacBook Airs are so pricey here, I was thinking of buying one during my vacation. I was looking at the base MacBook Air 13.3″ model with just one upgrade: 8GB of RAM. Unfortunately I just learnt that for that specific upgrade I have to wait for ~5 business days, which is not an option for me. So now I'm thinking of buying the base model with 4GB of RAM. I know all about the importance of 8GB, but if I'm going for a MBA, the 4GB one is the only choice I have at the moment.
My question goes to all those who own a MacBook Air 13.3″ (2013) with 4GB of RAM.
What are the limits when we are talking about applications running at the same time? Can you give me some examples based on your own experience (e.g. how many tabs opened in browser? which applications were running exactly?) where the MBA's 4GB RAM handled the situation smoothly without any hiccups?
Thank you in advance for your help!
