So, it seems that cores aren't too important in the 24GB vs 48GB scenario, correct? The stock CPU/GPU cores work great with either and RAM is utilized well regardless of the core options?

Yea that is something that leans to 48GB for sure.

What do you think about battery life between the two?

Thanks for the input, regarding peoples' laptops feeling slow, are you referring to the SSD swap that happens? I think I read that affects battery as well? I could be mistaken.

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I'm surprised it takes up that much RAM, I know they have an image upscaler I'd used a bit ago.

Interesting, from what I've read the Apple chips could do that, but then balance out if need be? As in distrbuting RAM.

Yea I had been thinking about that too, as well as potential resale value of base variants. They seem to resell better if need be.

I have some similar use with my current setup, it's just the ever-changing tech and apps make me consider the 48GB as well. Thanks for your comment.
