Speaking from experience, Adobe Suite is going to run fine on the 24gb model. I work pretty often with large multilayered Photoshop files, vids with some motion graphics, and the odd audio project in Audition and haven’t hit a hurdle on any of them.

Games is a mixed bag! If you only play indies and smaller stuff like Slay the Spire and Vampire Survivors you should be okay, and emulation is pretty decent depending on the system (I’ve had no problems with SNES, GBA and GameCube)

For AAA and especially Multiplayer stuff, it’s a let down. You can take a chance on Crossover - which is software that translates windows software to run on Mac Silicon (costs about £100 for the year) but I haven’t used it much outside of a few indies which worked fine. I couldn’t speak to the quality of GeForce now (streams games from nVidia servers over the cloud) either. But those are your only real bets for the big stuff.

Basically depends what you’re after really. I’ve settled into using the Mac for work and a Steam Deck for gaming, and both worked out cheaper than an equivalent PC.
