Hi! Would it be good for engineering students too? I’m not yet familiar with the courses though..

I decided to cancel my 8gb order and go with the 16gb. Thinking I could switch out the NVME or Ram but that seems to only be possibly on the older mac models since on the 2020 everything is soldered. Hopefully everything goes well! I know apple OS's are super optimized but would rather spend the extra 200 (I get free airpods anyways lol) to be future proofed a bit longer.

One thing that's important for developers, for day-to-day stuff, is the ability to run applications in Docker or similar container software (like Podman). Now Docker will eventually release a compatible version, but right now there's no way to run containers. And even with a container, it's gonna be weird to see how the translation will work between the container (most often it's gonna be x86) and the base system. Because it ain't gonna be Rosetta.

Thanks a lot for the warning about RAM. Now I am going to order the 16 GB version.

@ianno3 I already got my 16Gb and I am pretty happy with it. On one hand there might be some plug-in that has memory leaks, on the other hand I don’t have any regrets upgrading to 16Gb. I have been using 64gb Mac, so even 16Gb sounds less than ideal to me. I am a backend software engineer and I connect it to two 4K monitors @60hz with a DisplayLink docking station. With about 50 tabs open between Jira and stackoverflow the laptop always on SWAP. I understand due to the awesome speed of the IO on the new MacBooks we don’t see the beach ball as often but in the long run I do believe with constant large chunks of sections of SSD used for caches the fragmentation will slow down the machine over time. That said I believe it varies from person to person. It’s just my work flow probably better off with more RAM.

Just saying, this video was made in November, and not many apps (including Chrome) had been optimized to run natively on ARM. Now they are, so you might not need the 16 GB to run those apps. Obviously this wont apply to everyone, but if you have been fine with 8 GB in the past, I see no reason to pay more for 16.

If you are doing web dev, you need more than an IDE and a browser. One of the biggest pieces of web dev is designing a server. The server is an application just like any other, albeit without a GUI. Also, DOCKER. You will probably need docker to run and quickly set up several servers on one machine. If you are a CS student in this day and age, you will NEED docker. Maybe not for the first couple years of your program, but for the third or fourth year you certainly will. The missing virtualization capabilities are what keep Android emulators from running and are also what keep Docker and VirtualBox from running smoothly. But yes, for first-year students just doing very basic Python or Java applications or basic HTML/JavaScript webpages that don't require a server but are just parsed from a local file, the M1 works. For advanced students or for getting work done in the workplace (if you aren't programming iOS/Mac exclusive apps), you will need an Intel or AMD processor for the time being.

Would you recommend 16gb just to be safe even for regular usage (browsing, KZread, video editing)

Another issue is going to be a lack of support for Docker, and then when/if that comes, it may only be able to run ARM docker images. This can be an issue because it's a blocker to just being able to quickly spin up various database systems or web proxies, or you name it. Not sure if that applies to CS students (depends on you and your courses) but its definitely a concern for a lot of people who want to do some kind of enterprise style development.
