A lot of these fights seem to revolve around the word Pro. I'm a professional: I've worked with computers and software my whole life, and I am very good at it.
I don't think I'll particularly need 32GB of RAM or USB ports on my laptop. Does this mean I'm not a true professional? Real men need 32GB and USB?
That said, I'd probably opt for 32GB and a bit more weight.
There is a 2TB option, by the way.
- bartread 10y agoThat's a fair point and it wasn't my intent to start a "real men need X" style of discussion. Nevertheless, VMs, and particularly Windows VMs with VS and the rest - at least on the kind of systems I always seem to end up working with - are resource hungry. I'm not suggesting that 32GB is for everyone, but I'd at least like the option available knowing that I might be trading some battery life by selecting it. (Worth knowing about the 2TB option - thanks for the tip. I refreshed last year when 1TB was the top end. Fortunately I think the drive is still user-upgradeable.)
