New to mac and looking to get a macbook pro... unsure about 24gb or 48gb ram. Contemplating just buying the 24gb especially with the holiday return, and see if that's enough.
I see people talk about "memory pressure" which is a new concept to me. I know generally speaking the OS and apps will use up as much RAM as you have, so RAM usage itself isn't a good measure.
Could I order the 24gb laptop, use that system info view to monitor memory pressure (while I do heavy lifting) and get a concrete idea about whether 24gb is enough or not? Would I need to visually constantly monitor it, or can I see the pressure usage over time, and understand whether it's just a quick blip or hangs out in high pressure for a bit?
