> Obviously you can't do anything with less than 64 GBytes these days
replyI don't think that's true. Plenty of people can run basic workflows at 8GB on the MacBook Neo and most others are fine at 16 GB.
I am a developer, as many of us on here are. I currently have 32GB of RAM and am constantly fighting swap. 64GB would be min even w/o local model.
replyI rebuilt the entire fastcomments moderation UI 2yrs ago with webstorm on my 16gb thinkpad. 64gb is nice but not needed. I wonder if every dev didn't use an M4 Pro if software wouldn't be so resource hungry...
replyRealistically it's 48 M5 Pro vs 128 M5 Max due to constraints on how you can configure them. So a more substantial difference of ~2k US.
