Prefer 32GB than a better CPU.
By the way When the fuck did 32GB become an entry requirement, I am so saddened by the crappy software and stacks that treats memory like an infinite resource
- blibble 4y agopresumably they want it to be able to run Teams
- geodel 4y agoYeah, Where would computer industry be if physical collaboration with open office setup and online collaboration with teams/slack does not take place?
- foepys 4y agoGP was a dig at Microsoft Teams being utterly bad software that not only uses absurd amounts of memory for a chat app but also hogs all kinds of resources while still being generally laggy on high-end machines.
- wongarsu 4y agoAnd just for comparison, the cheapest Mac mini with 32GB RAM is $1699. I can forgive a slower CPU in a machine that's about one third the price.
- geodel 4y agoAgree. Further I nowadays see crappy software developers instead of being apologetic or at least modest, claim some kind of moral high ground along the lines of "This software wouldn't even exist if not for our accomplishments, so be thankful to us" I'd hope some one have already or will write thesis on correlation between Rise of Javascript stack and narcissism in software industry.
- wmf 4y agoThe "beggars can't be choosers" attitude probably correlates with a lot of software becoming $0.
- Finnucane 4y agoBeing old enough to remember when 32K was generous space, memory is an infinite resource.
- stevefan1999 4y agoWhat Andy giveth, Bill taketh away. Blame Microsoft for that.
- anaisbetts 4y agoThe only dev environment that I know of where 32GB is an entry requirement is Professional (i.e. non-trivial, non-hobby/learner) Android development. You certainly do not need it to develop Windows applications.
