32gb memory overlords.

Ahaha any specific brand with 32gb that you like?

Nah not really. I just bought the cheapest refurbished 32gb memory laptop I could find.

I use MacBook Air M2 8 GB laptop for all work (programming, writing docs etc). Suits well

8 GB is enough or you? I thought that even Chrome struggles on that with a few tabs open.

M2 is well optimised. Along with SSD I don’t see any slowness. I use Vivaldi / Firefox. No chrome.

Didn't consider that memory use optimization could be such a big win. I'm due for a faster box (still on a 2015 MacBook Pro).
