Remember the new machines use RAM for video too. It’s probably overkill, but 32 might be a bit under. If you’re working on multiple IDEs for multiple platforms at the same time, I would go for 64. Most of the reviews point out from video/photo editing perspectives, I would appreciate advices from other whig similar workflow. Of course, the work can be done with 16gb but could be pleasing/faster with more ram? I will benefit of the extra ram in my actual workflow? I’m trying to decide if I should spend 400€ more to have 32gb instead 16gb. Neither Visual Studio is fun, but I used only a couple of times. (even with only AS open and an emulator it feels laggy)

The company I work for sent me an M1 Mini 16/256 on February and I had generally no problem with the 16gb of ram, but the experience with Android Studio source code editor isn’t fun. My personal projects are all iOS native but for work I need to use Android Studio and Visual Studio (xamarin). I will use for development on both personal and work projects. I’m about to pick a 16” MBP with M1 Pro and 1TB of SSD, but I’m unsure about ram. I'll update when a Apple Silicon optimized Android Studio comes out.Hi, I’m mainly a mobile software developer working on both iOS and Android native. M1 chips are cool (in a temperature sense), but currently slow. CPU Temperatures: 88 to 92C(+hot air blowing out 😅) VS.MacBook Pro 2.3GHz 8‑core Intel Core i9 VS.gradlew assembleDebug takes after a warm up of the same (. The compile times are the least of my worries (see bottom section).Random freezes which require app restart.Very slow typing and clicking sometimes (general lag).Very slow indexing/ navigation around the code base.

I also use a physical device to dedicate more mac resources to the IDE. I keep telling myself the M1 is faster, but I in reality I only notice speed reduction and freezes when compared to MacBook Pro 16' 2020 2.3GHz 8‑core Intel Core i9 or my Intel i7-9700K Hackintosh. I've always been on the Canary version too. I've tried to use Android Studio for the past couple of months, and to me, it is unusable, let alone at parity with running it on Intel. Serious performance issues (before May 2021) I've noticed its also a day late on releases. Don't use jetbrains toolbox because it is bit buggy, it downloaded an outdated version of Android Studio. The Beta version (Arctic Fox Beta 4) now has Apple Silicon support, so you can download it from Android Studio download archives. Available on Android Studio Arctic Fox (Beta)
