That seems like a hell of a lot of RAM for next to nothing.

I'm not a mac user but that seems ridiculous. I'd be investigating what's hogging it all.




I build my desktops with a lot of ram.

I have chrome, Firefox, photoshop, vs code, docker and a few other things running. As a kid I had to manage RAM. As an adult, I buy enough RAM to not need to think about it.

I was committed to buying an M1 on day one. I won’t buy a machine with only 16gb of RAM.


I'm the same, my current desktop has 32Gb, but still I'd be pretty concerned about 18Gb in use with nothing running.
