I currently have my M1 MBP with 8GB memory hooked up to a dock driving 2 external displays (using displaylink manager) as well as the laptop screen. I typically do office work, so multiple docs open in Word, powerpoint, etc, Outlook and Mail, 5-10 tabs open at any time (including sharehopoint), Remote Desktop app, Teams and Zoom. Occasional Photos and FCP (although if doing this for any length of time, would typically close out all the other apps).
Although my computer has never felt slow or beach balled, the activity manager tends to show yellow instead of green memory pressure. Does this mean I should be using 16GB minimum? Or should I move to 32GB?
Attached is a screenshot of activity monitor, what would you do?
