RE: Laptop Memory of "Oracle Lab" -- 16gb support "good enough"?

In my opinion 16 GB should be good. I have 16 GB on my laptop and I have couple of different VM setup as follow

2 standalone (which I use to play with data guard) 2 node RAC(one more node to simulate DNS n shared storage)

But I usually have either thr Rac setup running or my 2 standalone.

So 16 GB should be good.

Listers,

Looking at buying a new laptop, and intend to use Oracle's VM and Linux to mimic various production scenarios, playing with things like RAC, Data Guard, Golden Gate, OEM 12c, etc. There was a discussion last January where some wished felt fine with 16gb memory, though some wondered if that would be enough. So, I want to revisit and see if those limited to 16gb found they could meet their needs?

I know a lot depends on exactly what I intend to do, and what all is running at the same time. So just more a generic question if those limited to 16gb found they could do all they needed to do. There are many more options for laptops supporting up to 16gb versus those that will support up to 32gb (which also tend to be bigger, heavier, and more expensive).

Regards,
