> M2 Air here that I use as my dev machine. All I do is backend dev running on Docker, and it's works as well as the M1 Pro 32gb and M2 Max 64gb I've used before. (the challenge in running multiple monitors is the main issue, not performance) I'm doing similar stuff, and I think the big thing I'm worried about is SSD write exhaustion. The 8 GB of ram is just not enough to prevent the system using a lot of swap. Especially if I ever need to use Rosetta. And the way Apple's pricing around ram works, if you're going to upgrade to 16 GB, you might as well just get a pro, which comes base with 16 GB. At least with the Mac Mini/Studio. I'll admit that I'm less familiar with the laptop pricing.
