Memory Decision for Laptop

Hey, going to buy this new laptop, but I have one decision left.

 

It has a few opinions for RAM amounts and speeds, though I'm only looking at two options.

16GB 1600MHz

8GB 1866MHz

 

For some reason they are the same price, but I'm leaning towards the 16GB as it seems more worth it then the minor speed boost.

 

Thanks

If they're the same price, I would go for the 16gig. The performance difference between 1600/1866MHz is negligible.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.
