Chrome devs are given both a laptop (most choose a MacBook Pro) and a fairly beefy desktop. My one had 64G of RAM, and that was given to me six years ago.

Are those 64GB for browsing the web as parent poster claims, or for compiling software, leaving much less for web browsing?

Did you know that it remains free when you’re not compiling in a moment?
