    I use Virtual Machines and run local LLMs. LLMs need VRAM rather than CPU RAM. You shouldn’t be doing it on a laptop without a serious NPU or GPU, if at all. I don’t know if I will be using VMs heavily on this machine or not, but that would be a good reason to have more RAM. Even so 32 GiB should be enough for a few VMs running concurrently.

      That’s fair. I’ve put it there as more of a possible use case rather than something you should be consistently doing.

      Although iGPU can perform quite well when given a lot of RAM, afaik.
