Ok fuck it.
Tell me why i shouldn’t go for this as my next daily driver after one MBP after another for over 15 yrs. I’m serious.
What are you going to use 64GB of RAM for?
Futureproofing it for the next N years? Playing some mad games? Honestly no idea I just thought to take the current top tier benchmark and one-up it.
Edit: on reflection I generally max out my MBPs out of habit to get the longest shelf life possible. Perhaps it’s just habit.
Edit2: if it helps I tend to get a new laptop every 5/6 years. The aim here would be to happily bespoke the hell out of a system and get more than 6 years out of it.
I'm with you on this, especially with regards to RAM. Take whatever seems a bit overkill today, double it, and you have what passes as functional in five years (assuming you keep software updated).
Going overboard on RAM is likely the cheapest future-proofing you can do on a machine when you buy it.
