If you run docker under Linux, and I'd assume you would on this machine, you do not incur the VM cost, so you can run containers and pay little more than you would if you were just running everything without the isolation. Life usually works out. I'm posting this from my 16GB LG Gram Linux machine that is running six containers full of servers and databases while I'm posting and has 6.5GB of available memory.

Always amazed hearing how other people work... I want my laptop to be portable, have a nice screen, long lasting battery and run cool and silent. There are way better machines to run an "entire prod infrastructure" and you can easily reach them with ssh.

No kidding. I want my laptops light and slim.

My personal laptop is a slick Lenovo with a Ryzen 5800H, 16:10 screen and only 16 GB ram. I prefer it much better than my work provided "mobile workstation" that is hot, heavy and loud piece of shit with tons of ram, useless Xeon and a quadro. I know there are people who need this shit but this setup is the norm that barely anyone around here needs

It is upgradeable to 64 GB.
