Hi,
I'm looking at purchasing my first MBP. I’ve decided to get an i7 16” as that offers the better processor than a 13”, but I’m not sure just how much memory I need.
On my windows PC I have a 6th gen i7 and 16gb and that’s been perfect for the last 3 years.
I’m a .net developer so most of my time is in Visual Studio on a Windows PC. So I’m guessing for this I’d be using Parallels.
Would 16gb be enough to run VS smoothly via Parallels or is 32gb preferred (or really required)
I don’t want to buy a machine then see it running poorly but at the same time don’t want to spent £400 extra for memory which could be overkill.
I think the i9 is overkill for my usage, but again if people think it’s better to have that then I’d have to seriously consider it.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
