If you become "enlightened" you can notice that sometimes when you, say, open your spotify window after a long time elsewhere, the spotify is briefly unresponsive. Not in a way you notice, more in the sense that if you are looking for it, you can see hints it is swapping.
The only time I wish I had more is when I got into iOS development and began running VMs on my mac.
Similarly, I am for the first time going to care about how much RAM is in my next iPhone. My iPhone 13's 4GB is suddenly inadequate.
I've only managed to hear the fan when chatting with a LLM, for anything else it's been an absolutely silent beast.
My own machines are M1 Max 32GB and they fare slightly better.
It's going to be hard to justify upgrading this thing for awhile.
The only things that ever seems to get my fan going are transcoding a video or a really long compile.
Never once has the fan run during web browsing or any of the many everyday tasks that used to bring my previous one to its knees.
You're never going to read those, before the links rot.
I'm using Vimium for general use and have an Alfred plugin/thing/extension but even that's a bit unwieldy. How many windows is this?
My daily driver before this was a Ryzen 5700x desktop with 64GB RAM, so I know what a powerful processor + RAM combo feels like.
Haven’t even heard the fan even once.
