And if you think you ever will want to use one or more virtual machines (e.g. you want a Windows VM for some reason) you will almost certainly want 32GiB or even 64GiB of RAM in the future. You can, of course, plan to upgrade RAM when-and-if you need it. The same goes for BlueTooth: You may not need it now, and you can always add it later if you need to, but it's nice to have it when you need it rather than having to wait for delivery. > Stefan Rick
