I'm on a MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) with only 16GB RAM. I mean, I'm running 4 different JetBrains IDE's, 3-4 docker containers, Chrome, Mail, terminals, and a bunch of other stuff and it's never laggy (almost feels like magic coming from Intel to Apple Silicon).
- whizzter 8mo ago16gb is plenty, an intern we had ran a M1 Mac with 8gb of memory and running a browser concurrently with Figma made everything slow down to the point where he went around asking for advice.
- mrheosuper 8mo agoCould it be all the corporate-tracking software ? I used to have a M1 Pro macbook with 16gb ram when it's first released, and somehow it still feel slow when compiling. Then try again on my friend personal M1 MB, it was night and day.
- whizzter 8mo agoWe're a small shop so nothing of that sort, it's more of larger Figma projects and modern web-apps being hogs. Honestly, these days compiling feels like really lightweight work in terms of memory compared to so much else.
