That'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.)
