MacBooks in that price range fall apart frequently due to only having 8GB of RAM. They're e-waste.
You've got to spend ~£500 more to get one with alright specs. And even for that £1,650 price point you only get 512GB storage (are you fucking serious, Apple? A £500 Acer has that amount!)
And please don't regurgitate Apple's "our RAM is magic RAM so you don't need much of it" nonsense.
