I routinely run several VMs and my next laptop soon will be 32 or 64GB. On Windows my dev machine already uses 8GB with just a few browser tabs open.

“Uses 8 GB” doesn’t mean you can’t do more with it; your computer is just “using“ the RAM because it’s there.

I know that. However, running my configuration on an 8GB machine is horribly slow.
