is a Mac mini m6 with 32gb worth it or are 24gb enough? Currently using mb air with 24gb, but will upgrade my office soon and think about a Mac mini. Any experiences and suggestions?

If you're deeply into AI or data stuff, then I would go for the 32gb model. If not, 24gb is more than enough, even with multiple Docker containers running at the same time and lots of applications open

Depends on what you're aiming to use it for now and in the future.

I usually use Codex and IntelliJ IDEA for development, with dozens of Chrome tabs open. Even with this workload, 24GB of RAM is more than enough for me.
