Can I use my old macbook's RAM and put it on my macbook air?

I got the new computer as a Christmas present last year and I've been rude and haven't used it yet because I felt like it was a huge downgrade, and I'm sad that I'm correct 😟 I don't know what to do with this new computer. Obviously can't return it....

That would be good for the holidays.

The reason I felt like it was a downgrade because my sister has the exact same one and I watch her have a lot of problems playing video games, something I do regularly (why I got extra RAM on my current one) I'm a person who likes to do many many things at once 😝

edit: Alright so this topic is mostly the fact that I'm not sure if I should hold on to it for whenever my macbook does eventually break down the same way my iphone does, or to regift it to a family member (who happens to have a very bad computer that needs to be replaced. Might just give it to them instead). This thread got really off-topic, sorry about that!

since I JUST got new RAM.

Meaning you got new RAM for the Macbook Pro and installed it? How many GBs do you have now?

Don't worry about off topic. Aren't we all?😉

Seems a shame to not use the Macbook Air. You could use it for stuff other than gaming.

Anyway, good luck and a Happy Christmas and New Year!

For months on end, I wanted to improve my RAM, but I put it off because it's not cheap. After debating for a while, I upgraded my RAM for my old macbook because I thought "wow this will be nice upgrade and treat for myself!" and then got a macbook air right afterward, making the purchase feel like a waste of money after I spent so much time thinking about it 😝 Kind of just a "oh jeez" moment.
