Ask HN: What OS do you run?
Was it worth it getting the 16GB of RAM? I'm thinking of getting the same myself.

If you're buying any laptop for development use, it's worth getting 16 GB of RAM if possible. You may not need much more than 8 GB right now, but inevitably your need will increase over the next few years, and many laptops aren't expandable anymore.

16GB for sure. This is one of the reasons why I stay with Mac. There are not many PC laptops with more than 8GB RAM.
