I disagree and this is why I will wait for future MacBook Pros that support more memory.

I do think it is okay for something like a MacBook Air.

"16GB ought to be enough for anybody."

If you think it's enough, it's probably not.

I literally have an application I cannot compile in 16 GB.

What basis makes this comment apply to _everyone_ ?

I am a jerk. Trolling aside, I'm always a bit skeptical about the application, and roll my eyes (same as when people freak out about the processor on their smartphone). If you're sure it will make a difference though... you'd be like the one person out of ten that upgrades and sees a substantial improvement. Guess I can't help myself, and will accept my downvotes.

> 16G ought to be enough for anyone

... just a reminder, that quote is apocryphal. Lies don't just travel faster than the truth, they've also got alarming staying power.

I hope so. I'm sitting at 68% memory utilization on a 16GB MBP _without_ any VMs running.

Everytime a manufacturer limits a new model in 2020 to a max of 16GB, I wonder if they really understand with high end work laptops or desktop are really being used for.

Yep. 14.61GB out of 16GB here, on my 2015 MBP. No VMs running.
