Is it necessary to buy 16g for macbookpro?

Apple launched the MacBook Pro at the press conference some time ago, but compared with Microsoft's Surface Studio all-in-one, it was found that the MacBook Pro was slightly inferior. Moreover, many users are complaining that this notebook is too small, with only 16GB of memory, but now some developers say that 16GB of memory is enough.

One thing people spit out about Apple's new MacBook Pro is that the running memory is limited to 16GB, and the ability of MacBook Pro is not "professional" at all. Quite a few people think that only 16GB of memory means that MacBook Pro can't open multiple professional applications at the same time, but is this really the case? The developer of Tings blog pointed out in an article a few days ago that 16GB memory is enough for most professional users.

"For testing, I also opened a series of all the software I can imagine in the new MacBook Pro, including professional programs designed for professional photographers, professional designers, software engineers, penetration testers and reverse engineers. After opening these softwares at the same time, I try to switch back and forth between them. After all, it is more' professional'. And the result? I'm tired myself, and neither is the computer. During this period, the system shows that the maximum occupied memory is 14.5GB. "

Developers say that although a few professional software will occupy more than 16GB of memory, don't forget that this is just a laptop, and its portability should be considered. If you really have such a big demand, you should choose Mac Pro instead of MacBook Pro.

Earlier, some analysts mentioned that the emergence of a new generation of MacBook Pro is a reflection of Apple's neglect of professional Mac users. But judging from the test results of this developer, the so-called "cold reception" may only be a follow-up.

However, judging from the way users use it at present, 16GB is still acceptable, which is definitely enough for ordinary users. Although 16GB memory developed by some Web and iOS is enough, if some large-scale projects are developed, 16GB memory is definitely too small.
