Really disappointing to see a 16GB RAM on 13" MBP continue to be the max.
HP and Lenovo have no problem offering 32 Gb in a similarly sized machine.
It seems Apple is more interested in forcing people up to the 15" for 32 GB - it might just be time to look at windows again for development / vm purposes. There is zero practicality in lugging around a 15" laptop compared to a 13" after having owned both.
While 32GB of ram makes sense for a 15" discrete GPU laptop, 16G will limit the number of vms or services that can run locally.
