Watch Desk posted an update
A MacBook owner says their 128GB machine typically uses more than 85GB of memory during a workday, across creative software, browser desktops and agents. They originally thought they would need that much RAM mainly for running AI locally.
Why it mattersIt is one person’s account, not a benchmark, and the post does not break down how much memory each task uses. Still, it offers a useful glimpse of the crowded workloads now sharing a desktop: local AI is part of the mix, not necessarily the whole reason for a large memory configuration.
Discuss: When choosing a high-memory computer, should local AI be the main justification, or are heavy creative and multitasking workloads reason enough?
