My last laptop, I bought a roided-out "workstation replacement" laptop. Six months later, all of my programming activities had moved to a cloud-hosted lab-environment. And, while Firefox and Chrome both love to go to town on my RAM, even at 32GiB available, they stop becoming responsive well before they reach half that usage-level. Since I'm no longer running local VMs, the quad-core design isn't real helpful, either.
Very likely I'm going to dial-back my "requirements" on my next purchase. :p
