Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

Less than 10 ? Sounds a bit far fetched. Any modern OS with 8 gb ram can handle 10 tabs. It is probably for other reasons may be

Don’t underestimate the black hole of ram that is Google AdWords and Google analytics. And chrome.

Also don't underestimate all of the background services that the IT department loads: email certificate managers, VPN client, DLP client, backup client, endpoint protection, etc.

I noticed the other day that each jira cloud tab takes about 250-350MB of ram. For just viewing a single ticket too! Still doesn't add up to 8GB but ten tabs of that would eat up a good chunk of that.

Yeah, I hate Atlassian products.

Have you ever seen a good ticketing system though? Shared mailbox doesn't count.
