I bought a personal MacBook Pro M1, and last year there was a 1 month wait list. I ended up buying not from Apple but from my local independent Mac store: they only had 8G models in stock. Anyway, I do Common Lisp, deep learning, and Swift dev on it with no problems. I would rather have 16G, but 8G is working for me.

Thank you for answering. I just feel like getting 16GB version doesn't sound as appealing in terms of price. Another question: does your MBP swaps a lot? I've heard that SSD wears off much more quickly on M1 so that is also another concerning point.

I don't notice much swapping when running 'top'.
