    I’ve been on 16GB of ram on all of my machines for so long … It’s really the sweet spot for everything I do (gaming etc. ) I don’t do media production or anything like that. All that said I’m currently in the market for a new machine and will probably get 32GB “just to be safe” but since my next laptop will probably be a framework I don’t have to make the decision till I actually need the ram and even then I can still decide to get one stick first the other later and the prices scales pretty linearly.

    8GB might still be enough for some web browsing and stuff but apple should not put this little RAM in anything they call professional.

    And before anyone says “you only need that much ram in Windows” well … I don’t and won’t be running Windows ;)
