I picked up a 16gb M1 Pro about as soon as they came out. It was unbelievable for the first year, basic React web stack work. Now I'm working on a project that requires about six Docker images, and we made a questionable choice about Typescript packages for typing our API responses. The Docker consumes most of my RAM, and even when it's turned off, there's a visible different in the IDE between mine and my M2 equipped coworkers whenever a document that uses this dumb lib is opened. So anyway I'm picking up an M3 Max next week.

When you need a high end laptop for web development, what a sad state of affairs...

    No, in this case it is docker. Last I remembered, docker on macs run in a VM

An alternative to leaning on your laptop that way is to use a 2nd headless system to do builds, run tests, host containers, etc. It can be more economical over time and better DX to use this [semi-] dumb terminal approach, depending on specifics of your workflow.

If you need docker, just get a Linux laptop, it really works way better.

6 docker instances... I didn't click on this thread to be offended.
