Huh. It'd be interesting to see how much memory LibreOffice or some such takes on a Linux system.
I'd test myself, but I'm currently on a Raspberry Pi and my beefy box is a) off and b) all the way over there.

I just opened an empty Writer document to check the RAM usage. On Fedora 39, it is using 161.0 MB. I opened an empty Calc, and the RAM usage increased to 223.9 MB.
Thank you, less lazy stranger.
16GB should be the absolute bare minimum with 32GB being standard at this point.
Selling 8GB high end laptops like macbooks with soldered RAM shouldn't be a thing at all. It's such a waste of resources, because devices which could be used in 10 years won't be useful beyond basic word processing and browsing.
The only reason Apple has them is to have a low starting price while taking 200 USD for 8GB additional RAM. For context, 16GB RAM costs about 50 USD in retail.
