I run VMs and that takes RAM, processor, and lots of HDD space. My MBP has a 512gb drive and is about 75% full despite the fact I've deleted all of my music and most of the videos.

That's why I asked if Joe was running VMs (or a couple other things). There are only a handful of tasks that require as much memory/disk space as he listed as his minimums.
Disk space, though is easy to eat up if you're a digital packrat. My opinion is that if you're buying a new machine, you should buy as much as possible so as to allow for future needs.
40 to 60 browser tabs open at any one time across 3 or 4 different browsers, plus photo editing, plus video download, plus the occasional game.
40-60 browser tabs is unreasonable in my opinion. Doesn't seem like it would be managable. When I get 10+ open, I just start closing stuff.
I manage just fine.
Update:
The computer had been running great until the other day- not a major issue but the 'o' key began sticking down. I figured I would give it a good cleaning and it would be fine.
Unfortunately that didn't help. Even removed the key, it's not dirt. The rubber that pushes it back up has worn.
It appears to be a common problem on their own support forums-
Key stuck on keyboard
Now we'll see how well their support handles the situation.

Well we'll see what support says but found a site selling the replacement key including the rubber piece that went bad for only $6.95... So not the end of the world...

Haven't gotten any reply to my support ticket.
Trying to find somewhere that sells a replacement keyboard - here are instructions for removing the keyboard (and changing the color of the LED light which I don't need.)

But $15 a key and I've had 4 go bad so far- not going to replace them all at that price.

There's a reason I prefer to stick with the likes of Dell, Lenovo, or HP.
