I am on MBP mid 2014 15". It has 16GB of DDR3 memory. With just Slack, IntelliJ(not even doing anything), and Chromium browser I'm sitting at ~10GB. There is no way I would ever buy a laptop on which I intend to work with, with less than 32GB.

- sexy_seedbox 6y agoYou should run Slack in Vivaldi/Chromium, that should save some memory usage.
- amzans 6y agoInteresting. For comparison, I have exactly the same MBP mid 2014 15" with 16GB. As I type I have Slack, IntelliJ (with large Scala project), VSCode, Spotify and Chrome with plenty tabs open, and sitting comfortably at ~7 GB.
- arvinsim 6y agoI think the difference is that you will be using pagefiles while the 32GB one will not.
- ixacto 6y agoCurrently using 18.1GB/64GB of ram with Rstudio, Docker, Discord, Many chrome windows open. Was just about to hit the "buy" button yesterday but being that ram-constrained in the era of electron-based apps seems like it's pushing it.
- ch460399 6y agoInteresting. I have been doing development with Xcode (plus some with Visual Studio Code) on a 2017 mbp with only 8 GB and it hasn’t been terrible, or at least the RAM hasn’t been the bottleneck.
