The macbook air only has up to 16GB of memory right now. There's plenty of cases where one might want to run a javascript script on their laptop which uses quite a bit of memory, and they'd rather it complete at all, even if it's a bit slower.

My browser is already eating half of the 16 GiB of RAM I have on my laptop. I definitely don't need random small command-line tools which eat >300 MiB of overhead each. So far I am a happy non-user of Electron apps.

I would just change browsers.

I definitely have a M2 Air with 32GB. The point stands, but you aren't limited to 16GB on the Air

Can you point to that configuration in the apple store? I can't find _any_ M2 Air that can have more than 24Gb.

Oh yeah it's 24. Still higher than 16. My bad

Base M2 tops out at 24GB.
