Apple Macbook Pro vs Sketchup 22

Hello! I am about to buy a Macbook laptop (macbook Pro m2 “13”). My question: is this system enough for sketchup to work?
Memory type:
LPDDR5
Memory size:
8GB
Storage type:
SSD
Storage size:
256GB
Operating System:
macOS
Processor Type:
M2
Processor Clock:
2.0-3.4 GHz
Video card type:
Apple M2 GPU (8-core)

The main concern I would have is with only 8GB of memory. Because the cpu and gpu share the memory on Apple silicon, it is easier to run up against the limit.

I agree that 8GB is not enough. I’m kind of surprised that vendors still sell general-purpose computers with so little memory. 16GB or more would be highly advised (not just for SketchUp, but to run many modern applications).

I’m suprised they have the nerve to call it a “Pro” Device with so little memory. 5 of that will go immediately to the OS.
