Haha probably the last place anyone would look at.. sweat.gif
16gb is more than enough for basic use..in fact 8gb already overkill but now start at 16 :
yea definitely getting.. been waiting for it since March and held myself back coz I heard of the redesign.. so suffered for so many months.. now another issue is whether to get 14" or 16" since the price gap is only 2k..back then price gap is about double the price between 13" and 16"...sweat.gif

If u love to use large screen and not really using any external display, just go for the 16. I’m am an ex 16inch user and the screen looks really great to do all the stuff that you need.

If u already have an external 4k display, perhaps u can go for 14inch. However, once u got so use to the mbp line Retina display, it’s so hard to adapt to even those higher price tag 4k monitor . Some of the mac features like True Tone is not supported on normal 4k monitor. Unless we have the cash to buy apple pro xdr display .

Which 4K monitor are you using?

These new MacBook Pros have that Liquid Retina XDR display which use mini-LED with 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. That's a lot better than most of the 4K LCD monitors out there that only have 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Unless you guys are using LG C1 for your monitor which has near infinite contrast ratio  cool2.gif

I’m using LG 32un880.
