I keep reading that :-). First I was holding off on upgrades to get the fixed keyboard. Then came the M1 but React Native wasn't great on it. I think it's better now. And then all hell broke loose and now it's a budget question :-).

    I'm on an Intel Mac with 16GB. After firing up stuff for React Native (simulator, Metro, vscode) and Dockers for NHost (vscode, containers) and Chrome (plus maybe Safari to cordon off personal/work), 16GB is barely enough. Macbook runs hot, memory pressure etc. Dialed down my Docker memory share to 4Gb to make it work ok.

    Intel is trash compared to Apple’s chips. At least in MacBooks.

    Hehe yea. Their latest M1 and probably M2 are great machines. Can’t recommend them enough.
