That is what we have been rolling out to cloud-native developers as well, they get to choose etc, but when you don't need to run a local Kubernetes cluster with heavy tools, but instead can do something with a container, some FaaS simulation etc. you're pretty much golden with the 24GB configuration. Even 16GB used to be plenty, but with the GPU zero-copy sharing and the runtimes eating a bit more memory, the extra couple of GB do really make a difference. The amazing thing is that with this iteration, you're really leaving practically all Intels behind (at least Alder Lake and earlier) as you're either just as productive, or more productive, but without the heat, power draw or constant charging.
