The installation of 8Gb RAM was supposed to be carried out whenever this MacBook Air was bought as new or never. The official Apple line is that it's not possible to upgrade the RAM from 4Gb because it's soldered in. I have discovered Activity Monitor and put it on my Dock. Out of all these, it was obvious that The Sims 4: Digital Deluxe Edition took the longest to download and Origin/EA said they thought it was a 15Gb file. The Software I've installed and have been running includes Xcode, Swift Playgrounds, Keynote, Pages, Logic X Pro, Spotify, Kodi, and The Sims 4: Digital Deluxe Edition. Can anyone suggest some graphics programs which are for creating artwork, instead of just editing pics? I'd like to create some graphics on my Mac, but so far I haven't found any graphics programs that inspire me. How should I manage my applications to stay within 4Gb? Can anyone tell me about some things that are impossible to do on my Mac? I wonder how serious this is and if it's going to get worse in the near future. About 3 weeks ago I started getting messages saying that my memory was low, so I should close some apps. In early February 2021 I bought a used MacBook Air 13" (early 2014) with macOS Big Sur already installed and I've been using it ever since then.
