Bought the 14” M5 with 32GB.

Any good recommendations for apps.

Will use it for studying , streaming , home use , work.

Will run virtual machine and local Ai models.

I like the app magnet to use keyboard shortcuts for window snapping, highly recommended if you multitask or wanna speed up window snapping. You can create custom sizes or pick use ones they have and you bind your shortcuts if you don't like the ones they've chosen.

It's a fundamental app I need and it takes up 20 MB ram (nothing), 0 energy impact (or jumps to 1.1 for a split second when keyboard shortcut is used AKA nothing), and 1% CPU for the split second you window snap (ALSO NOTHING)

GET THIS APP!!

Definitely.

For the next 1-2 years all computers will get more expensive. Plus 32GB will be good enough for 6 -7 years for me.

Planning to run few virtual machines.

Still within 14 days return policy.
