I tend to use AWS Windows or Linux machines for work and use the Mac basically for Web browsing, RDP client and occasional Microsoft Office. This has removed my need for a desktop or notebook with more 16MB, effectively lenghting the useful life of my hardware. If I feel I need more RAM (up to 2TB), I just shutdown the AWS instance, change the instance type and start it again. Actually, with this setup, I very rarely have the urge to use my laptop, I have a desktop in the 3 places I usually work from so I'm freed to drag a laptop with me unless I travel.

The 16gb is rarely an issue for me, but I could easily see certain classes of workload that could make it so.
