Well, it's not like I can upgrade it.
The problem is that I had to get the cheapest one to be able to add it to the tax writeoff in a single year, otherwise it's split among three years (the tax code in my country is weird like that). If I could aftermarket-upgrade the RAM, I could just have bought the basic model and then upgraded, but that's not what Apple wants me to do.
Also, how should I know that I needed more RAM? It's not like they're writing that on the box (quite the opposite actually, Apple says that 8GB is enough for everyone).
Is this your first time buying a Mac?
Yes and no. My previous Mac was a MacBook back when they still had RAM slots. I switched away from macOS because it became such an embarrassment of an OS.
To what did you switch to?
First Windows 10, then Linux.
