A newer Mac with 8GB isn't a deal, it's a compromise.
Thanks for deciding for everyone's requirements...

You will never see a discount with a 16 GB model.
B&H Photo Video has $100 discounts on the 16GB MBA (1,349 instead of 1,449].

Just bought one with 512 gb on Amazon at 180€ off. aren’t 8 gb enough for non professional users?
I'm actually pretty blown away with how smooth 8GB of RAM is on the M1 Air. I've experienced some stutters and things, but that's in cases where I'm running a bunch of stuff at once spread across my personal and work user accounts both logged in. I would go with 16 personally based on that, but I think 8GB is absolutely usable for regular use, and MUCH more usable than 8GB was in Intel Mac.
