Further I never in life bought a computer just in order to run a specific software at all, instead I buy computers to run all kind of software and thus not just for one specific purpose here.įor example when I do development project related works, I often have to deal with a bunch of software in parallel. Personally developing RAWs is not my focus at all, these are just side jobs that you can do either way on the side if necessary. Never noticed any memory issues in that context.

And as Murphy's common law always tell (a rule of thumb) you can never have enough main memory in reserve.ĭeveloping RAW images is not my main focus with APh, but every now and then I do.Īnd I do it on my 10 years old MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM… All in all you should take that into account too here if you want to use the hardware for some more years. Also keep in mind that software is size wise growing over time, be it the next OS or third party apps, since they are fat binaries (the executables and frameworks/libs are fat mutiarchitecture files nowadays, so bigger than in the past). They might tell so, but did they also told you that most of that is then done via a bunch of SSD swapping too here if you throw memory hungry things on it? - Also keep in mind that if you want the hardware to amortize (.keep it up for some years to use) that you can't expand the on the SoC solded RAM memory later, same as the internal SSD capacity.

For the M2 Mac Mini they are saying the sweet spot would be if someone is thinking of buying the new M2 Mac Mini is buy the extra space also which 512 GB SSD along with 16GB RAM because with the Unified Memory even the extra SSD Space along with the 16GB RAM would make things and tasks snappier and faster.īut in my case that shoots up my budget by leaps and bounds and I cannot afford it.įor the M2 Mac Mini they are saying the sweet spot would be if someone is thinking of buying the new M2 Mac Mini is buy the extra space also which 512 GB SSD along with 16GB RAM because with the Unified Memory even the extra SSD Space along with the 16GB RAM would make things and tasks snappier and faster. I am a follower of the Maxtech YouTube channel and those Brother Duo tested 2022 Macbook Pro in Real Life the difference between the 16GB and 323GB RAM and there was hardly any difference, or any extra speed that they noticed. The problem is do you spend more on going for the Pro chip or not, or do you invest that money in more cores, or more storage. The old adage that you can never go wrong in buying too much memory is good. Or if you like to have very large files open in other apps while working in Affinity then that will reduce what is available to Affinity. As v_kyr stated, if you work with a lot of very large raw photos then you may find 16GB to be limiting.
