So my son ordered me an M5 with 24gb version w 1TB drive from AAFES (military price) and after I read more about memory I've decided to actually get a refurb M4 instead but w 32gb ram. That was before I found out AAFES is not allowing returns on Apple laptops, so now I'm stuck w a sealed M5 and have to deal w the hassle of selling it on FB Marketplace…
One more word on local AI inference, there's a speed difference in memory bandwidth between the M4 and the M5. Your local AI model will run proportionately faster on the M5 (all other things being equal), as the memory bandwidth is 153gbps vs 120gbps on the M4. In my case i traded the faster local inference for the ability to test bigger models. Most my real local stuff is done on dgx spark anyways (128gb, but still relatively slow, unfortunately).
On the M4 with 32Gb I run at 70% memory utilization with a ton of apps open. No restrictions whatsoever (yet). With 24gb it would still allow me to run everything I run right now, but who knows in another few months,,. lol.
