In the UK, the upgrade from 16GB to 32GB is £400 ($460). If you have the laptop for five years and presuming you are buying the laptop outright with no interest, the additional RAM will work out costing you 22 pence (25 cents) a day. For something as vital to both your professional life and hobbies as this laptop sounds, are you going to miss 22 pence a day?

Additionally, if you sell the laptop at the end of the five years or keep it for seven like your current computer, these daily costs will in actuality be even lower.

It's somehow a huge bump in price here in the US, especially after considering that there are great deals on the "Open-Box" 16GB Macbook Pro. Looking at the 32GB, it's at least 500-600 bucks more :/
