Hi,
I am looking to shop for a mbpr 15.
I am debating between 16 and 8gb of ram for MY uses for the next 2-4 years.
I will probably have a vm with windows 8 running 24/7, and occasionally ubuntu.
Chrome, adobe reader, google drive sync, desktop facebook messenger will also run 24/7. I will also be using eclipse regularly for coding.
Ill be using this machine primarily for school work as a Comp sci major at UIUC. I do not have a big background in hardware specs and what they mean as we primarily just work on theoretical software side.
