[Leica] OT: upgrade to High Sierra?

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks Brian and everyone else. I see somewhat conflicting messages: several people have said that one should really have 16 GB RAM to run High Sierra well (or rather, do photo processing and such) but then someone said that High Sierra runs fast and efficiently. Since my Macbook Air only has 8 GB RAM (and it cannot be upgraded beyond that), I will just stick with what I have.

Thanks again for the advice!

One great advantage to us from her running High Sierra is that I will be able to screen-share with her via Messages, so if I'm in California and she has a problem in Maine, we can get on the phone and do a screen-share and figure it out.

While the upgrade is free, I have until now ignored it based on “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. But am I missing out on some great new features or performance improvement?
