I'm a little disappointed Apple, the new MBP doesn't have a top of the line graphics card, and it's still stuck to 16GB of ram. This is hardly a pro option.

I wonder if I need a #hackentosh if I want 32GB of RAM, and an nVidia 950M or better.

Do you really need >16GB to be considered 'pro' these days?

You can have 64GB on a MacPro. Hope that's 'pro' enough.

I run several VMs at once on mine, and 16gb is constraining. Put me in the "the Pro is no longer so Pro" camp.
I regularly have six to eight virtual machines in flight at any given time and never feel constrained. Are you sizing them appropriately for their tasks?
128GB if you use slower ram.
