Do you really need more than 8GB of Ram on a 13in MacBook Air? (alien.top)

I am going to be purchasing a MacBook in January and have pretty much decided on the 13in Air but do you really need 16GB of ram? It will be used for School Work, Gaming and Photo editing.

Depends what you're doing with it...

Photo editing may need a bit more. I'm doing some light development with mine on some side projects and haven't hit anything that needed more than 8GB yet.

If photo editing is your line of work and not just a hobby, go for the 16GB and I'd also bump up the storage to 512GB.
