8 is fine for a tablet.

8 is not fine for a brand-fucking new state of the art laptop.

My iPad has 3GB RAM and honestly that’s enough. I don’t know what you do on your tablet, but for my everyday activities I have never felt limited

iPads don't really multitask so it is super easy to hide the low ram with swap.

We’re talking about laptops though. I was just using tablets as a comparison point.
