Yeah, if you want more RAM (since 8GB really ain't too much nowadays, especially since it's shared with the GPU) ~~you gotta buy the Pro version for over double the price.~~

Edit: According to replies you can upgrade to 16 GB for $200. I guess that's not too bad for Apple standards. Apple Silicon or not, 16GB still should be the default.

You don’t have to buy the Pro version for 16GB. It’s a $200 upgrade so still expensive though.
