Probably get the 64GB.

Yes, for $80 it’s a no-brainer. Docker VMs are RAM hogs. If you’re running more than a couple containers or any serious dev environment, 32GB fills up fast. That $80 buys you peace of mind and saves you from hitting swap during a build.

The real question is whether you’ll ever use it. If your workflow is one lightweight container at a time, 32GB is fine. But if you’re spinning up multiple VMs, databases, or node services, 64GB lets you stop thinking about memory. And for $80, that’s cheap therapy.

You can always add more RAM later, but why wait? Future You deserves the headroom.
