Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

Yep, best thing to do now is to buy a relatively new one 2nd hand with plenty of ram and just hold onto it until it no longer does the job. There is nothing useful in any of the new OS upgrades, you can run Macs for a good decade if you've got enough RAM.

Yeah my i7 with 16gb ram is holding up pretty well, the gpu is trash though… can’t wait for a M3/4/whatever replacement

Yeah I've definitely never bought Apple devices for their GPU's ;-).
