@atpfm we’re all relieved that min RAM has been upped to 16GB across the new Mac models. But we know this is tied to Apple Intelligence. As a potential purchaser should I be concerned that half this RAM is ‘spoken for’ by AI and I will still need to upgrade further to get 16GB to use myself? Or do I have the wrong mental model of how RAM works? #askatp
@atpfm thank you for answering my question! Made my morning 
(Even though I made the schoolboy error of not providing name pronunciation — Andrew slee)
@andrewsleigh @atpfm I very much doubt that the AI parts are running all the time. They’d only use RAM when they needed it. And if you turn off the AI features you’ll be fine
