Dozens of youtube video reviews showing that the 8GB is not really a limitation for what most people need to do with the laptop. Heck I saw a review where the guy played minecraft on it with 20 rather hefty tabs in safari open, without any stuttering.

Maybe you don't need a laptop then, if your dream is 1000eur.

Ah, too poor to play kind of argument.
