The thing that nobody seems to admit in this thread however, is that every Mac sold today has hundreds of megabytes of RAM basically. The sold state drives serve as RAM albeit at a slower rate, that won’t be noticed much at all by the average entry level home computer owner. In the past we always had this virtual RAM, going back for 20 years or more, but it used to be very very slow as it used spinning hard drives. SSD virtual RAM was a game changer.
