I think you are mixing up RAM and VRAM.

  On a Mac they are the same thing; they're shared. Of course you need some amount for the OS, but if you have an Apple Silicon Mac with 24GB of RAM, you can likely run a 16GB model.

  They are effectively one and the same on Apple Silicon.

    Which most people as a matter of fact don't use. A majority of people with laptop have separate memory pools and the VRAM of them is nowhere near that and even on most gaming laptops you aren't getting 16GB VRAM.

      I would say on this forum it wouldn’t be suprising for commentors to be near or above 50% that have access to an M Series Mac…

      > A majority of people with laptop have separate memory pools Majority of people with laptop have RAM and igpu using some of that as VRAM.
