- DaSHacka 7mo agoThe majority of people have a use case more demanding than having one open Hacker News tab and doing everything in the terminal with vi and minimal shell scripts. I'm definitely pretty squarely on the other end of the spectrum, but even the 32GB of RAM in my ThinkPad feels insufficient when I properly multitask with modern, bloated electron applications that eat multiple gigabytes each.
- qn9n 7mo agoI use an M2 Air with 8GB of RAM. I code in Swift, SwiftUI and Rust regularly with Xcode and Zed editor. I play games with Crossover and Native ones such as Control at over 30 fps. The M2 Air is an absolute powerhouse with tremendous battery life. The Neo won't be able to do these things and that's okay, it's not what it's for.
- turtlebits 7mo agoI used a base M1 air for my primary personal laptop for 5 years. It was fine with VS code and any development work sans running containers.
- NetMageSCW 7mo agoMaybe you should try a MacOS device.
- DaSHacka 7mo agoI already have, that's why I don't use them lol
- ezfe 7mo agoBruh if 32GB of RAM feels insufficient your computer is broken.
- DaSHacka 7mo agoLol it is a T480, so maybe there's some truth to that ;)
