This fits with my experience on a Mac mini using multiple, RAM-hungry Adobe CC apps. I have 16 gig but could easily be getting by 8. That said, I don’t regret my purchase. I got that 16 gig from a third-party source for under $100. 8 gig would not have been that much cheaper. It’s a cheap way to future-proof hardware.

3D animation, special FX and video editing are 3 things I do. You dont want the extra ram, fine. Gimme all ya got.
