> Otherwise it's just a non-issue. Nah, sorry, but you're wrong. I had to upgrade my laptop because I wanted to run Firefox, IntelliJ IDEA and an Android emulator on the same machine. Nothing else. This was not possible on 8GB ram. So it's not like multiple VMs are needed and above scenario is pretty average for a common mobile developer (but still not an average user, I admit) Second thing is, lots of games require 16 GB RAM. Maybe gamers are still not average users, I don't know.
