I supposed if you only used your $1800 MacBook Pro to use the web browser, then yeah, 8GB would be fine.

- aurareturn 3y agoI wouldn't buy the $1600 M3 14" MBP if that's what you're referring to. I can get an M2 Pro with 32GB for $1800 used easily. That's what I'd spend my money on if I had to get a laptop with $1800.
- fragmede 3y agoDocker on Mac runs a VM, which can't ballon (inflate/deflate memory usage), so it's no wonder 8 GiB isn't enough for you. For those who don't need to use docker and don't that fixed overhead, they're not going to have the same problems. Chrome, Slack, and iTerm can still fill 8 GiB, but you need many more tabs to get there than if you had to run docker.
