MacBook Pro 16GB vs. 32GB: Full Comparison

To keep the comparison easy, we will be looking at the Macbook Pro M1 16-inch, so all factors will be the same except for the RAM capacity and price.

Who Wins?

If I were buying one of these laptops, I would definitely go with the 16GB model. The price for its level of performance is unbeatable, and you likely won’t ever be opening 380 chrome tabs, needing to render a 3D scene, and watching multiple 4K videos all at the same time.

Is 32GB RAM overkill?

Depending on your use case, 32GB of RAM can be overkill. The MacBook M1 Pro does not need 32GB of RAM to be a very powerful machine.

Is it worth upgrading to 16GB RAM MacBook Pro?

If you are coming from a MacBook that only has 4GB or 8GB of RAM, upgrading to 16GB of RAM will be a huge difference, especially if you are upgrading to the new M1 chipset.
