Comment on 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Appleparent

Comments

I have a 16G M1, and have never ever seen it in those 2 years I have it. I do programming and video editing, and run VMs headless to which I give like 2-4G.

Lucky. I have to restart perhaps once a day/every other day as the UI becomes unresponsive. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep means it restarts by itself, or I have force power it back on.

With headless VMs with a few GB, or some huge-ass VMs?

Could it be something unrelated, like Spotlight getting stuck, or some hungry app? I guess you've consulted Activity Monitor and such
