Re: How much ram and storage should i get?

Thanks all.  That's what I was sort of figuring. Get as much ram and storage as you can afford. Makes sense too.  Best,  Doug.  Douglas Lawlor Email: doug.law...@gmail.com On Feb 6, 2023, at 11:32 PM, Dave Carlson <dgcarlson0...@gmail.com> wrote: No matter what you think, and no matter what others think, you will always want more RAM and storage later on. So best advice is to start with  as much RAM and storage as your budget allows, and then squeeze more juice out of the carrot and move up to the next higher amount of RAM and storage. You won’t regret spending the extra, and remember that once you get the computer you can’t add more after the fact. I’m sitting on a puny 500 G SSD and sorely wish I had purchased at least 1 Tb when I bought it 4 years ago.   Dave Carlson Farfar, Oregonian, Engineer, Woodworker, Musician dgcarlson0...@gmail.com On Feb 6, 2023, at 7:20 PM, doug.law...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, It's been a long time since I posted here. I'm in the process of purchasing a new Mac and was wondering how much ram and storage people are going with these days? I mainly want a machine for web and app testing, some word processing / text editing, and some single track audio recording.
