Super M3! Except that 8 GB ...

This Macbook Pro 3 is brilliant, the M3 chip is ultra fast and the Mac is a beauty. On the other hand, I'm a pro and I've fallen for the Apple video ads that say "yes, but 8GB on Sonoma is like 16GB on Windows", so, no, it's not.

I launch an ExpressJS server under PM2 + MySQL in local execution + VS Code + an ElectronJS application that will use the express server, and then I run out of ram. 90% usage and the Mac starts to heat up.

I shut down the PM2 and MySQL services and then it fell back to 60/70% ram...

I'm probably going to change this M3 for an M3 Pro with 18 GB of ram... I'll have tried. But 8 GB is absolutely useless in professional use.
