However, even if the M3 chip is used,The new MacBook Air still starts with 8GB of memory that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

certainly,Apple also supports memory upgrades, with 16GB adding 1,500 yuan and 24GB adding 3,000 yuan.

Some netizens complained: "Apple memory is really more expensive than gold", "8+256, only Applecandoit", "Teacher Cook, let's start with 16+256, 8G is really out of stock" and so on.

It is worth mentioning that after the M3 version of MacBook Pro was released last year, Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of global product marketing, responded to questions about only 8GB of memory in an interview.

BobBorchers said that when comparing Apple's memory directly with the memory of other operating systems, they are not exactly the same.

"In fact, our memory utilization is more efficient and we have memory compression technology, and our memory is based on a unified memory architecture."

"The 8GB memory on the M3 MacBook Pro may be closer to the 16GB memory on other systems."Bob Borchers said that the way Apple calls memory will be more efficient.
