My apologies if this has already been asked. I tried searching for "M1 Mac", both with and without quotes, but the search system says the terms are too short.
Anyway, I am looking to buy an M1 Mac. I can get one today if I go with the standard 8 GB of memory. If I want 16 GB, as I have in my current machine, I'll have to wait several weeks and pay $200 more. So my question: Is the extra memory really needed? I have heard that these new machines use memory more efficiently of something, so that 8 GB is as good as the old 16 GB. But I'd like to hear from someone who has actually run Lightroom, and maybe Photoshop, on an M1 Mac.
