>I'll take the 16" MBP, thanks. I can get more memory, in my case 36GB vs. 24GB

My current and previous MacBooks have had 16GB and I've been fine with it, but given local LLMs I think I'm going to have to go to whatever will be the maximum RAM available for the next model.

Similarly, I am for the first time going to care about how much RAM is in my next iPhone. My iPhone 13's 4GB is suddenly inadequate.

I have too, but my MBP is from 2012! It's not unrealistic for me to consider a machine that's going to get me to 2034.

I would still be using my 2012 if the hinge hadn't become so loose as to not let the screen stand up!
