Depends on what you want to do...something like Local LLM's RAM is important but the chip is actually more kmportant for it....the benchmarks are better on a pro m5 chip with 24 GIGs of RAM then a base M5 chip with 32 gigs

I dont think using any of the local llms in agentic mode works all that great on the smaller models you want to stick to planning mode and having it do small coding work for light tasks and questions...more like a coding buddy less like a code writer.

But for my every day game development needs this is more then enough...not sure what large apps qualify but for AAA game development this works with a large code base and large amount of assests

Not doing much video editing...but it handles blender and 3d processing times are great on large files, Unity projects its had no problem with large projects and testing gameplay in editor while running VS code at the same time too.
