Answered my own question. Turns out 16gb is a ‘custom build’ and only available from Apple. Do I need 16gb? By all accounts these things are savage but I’m keen to future proof as much as possible. I’m not goi g to be rendering 4K video, but it seems logical that future apps will use more ram? The £200 outlay now seems reasonable if it gets a few extra years out of it.
Was kind of thinking about future proofing in those terms as well until my 11 year old MBP was revived for about 150 bux via a new SSD.
I will stay tuned regardless, FYI I have two slots with 4gb in each.
