[@adriankal]

Why would you need additional ram over the standard 16gb though? I have 16 and half of it is used just for cache. I've never had 100% ram usage. Then there is ssd which has speed of 7gbps compared to 30gbps of ram. Not that big difference and it is used to offload unused at the moment apps. The only use case where ram should be bigger is when one app takes up more than the ram.
