A comment on HP Dev One Laptop with Pop_OS. Parent comment
From the benchmarks I’ve seen the M1 chips swap so fast that the penalty for less RAM is much less that I would expect on an Intel based laptop.
I’m pretty sure that if I was to move back to a mac right now I’d get 16Gb over 32Gb because there just isn’t much advantage to doubling the RAM.
I mean there’s a bit but to honest I don’t think I’d notice day to day.
