I'll still defend the 8GB base config for a Macbook Air, but it's just not reasonable for a MBP.

I'd defend it if the Air were a $500 machine, but at $1k, 8GB is unacceptable.

12 would maybe be reasonable, but come on, my phone, which was about the same price as a MacBook Air well over a year ago has more RAM (12GB) and more storage (512 GB). That's just totally unacceptable.
