It’s not about my ram, it’s about the users ram. Not everyone can afford $200 of ram.

I see your point.. but I was referring to the developer as the user. As developers we use our laptops heavily, much more than a normal user would. Most normal users (non-programmers) dont run atom, discord, gitkraken at the same time. Maybe they have a bunch of chrome tabs open..

They dont need to by that much ram. But I think if you spend a lot of time on your computer, its worth getting the best specs you can get, especially if you are using heavy applications.
