    Until you open a web browser or an Electron app. Them folks don’t really seem to give a shit about RAM usage.

      A Windows application and a Mac application will use pretty much the same amount of memory regardless of operating system.

      The real issue is how much memory the OS uses up. Windows is a massive waste of RAM but not enough to make any difference, certainly not with 8 GB versus 16 GB. You’re still better off on PC then.
