yeah, the non-upgradability is a thing. I went for 16GB for various reasons, but would err towards 32GB for my next generation.

The Apple Silicon chips are interesting as I believe they are more memory efficient due to their architecture. Having the memory integrated with the chip reduces churn and the need for RAM. Still, VMs and Docker aren't light!
