The VMs are a killer. I fairly often wish to debug our mobile app. This ends up involving spinning up both the client and server (which is a collection of VMs) plus both IntelliJ and Unity. 16GB isn't really enough to do this without being very careful about memory.

If VMs are Linux, try to activate zram there, it allows to reduce VM's memory significantly. With typical compression factor of above 2 this allows to shrink VMs by at least 30% with tolerable loss of performance.
