Really depends on what you're developing.
I'm not a web dev, I'm a back-end dev and data herder. For me, 16GB is doable, but tighter than I'd like. I prefer new computers to be roomy, because of the way data volumes tend to grow over time.
- lucaspiller 10y agoI do frontend web and backend web services. I have 4GB on my Mac, it's tight but it works. As someone else below said, I want something for the future, and I don't think 16GB will last 5 years. Considering you can get a ThinkPad with 64GB ram (P50) for a couple of hundred more than Apple'a base price, they seem very overpriced. Apple's laptops were already thin and light enough for me, I don't see the point in paying more to get less anymore.
