Bisjac:
16 ia still way more then a heavy gaming comp still needs.
Adobe suite people doing a lot of rendering, and editing would prob like 32.

Anyone understand how the mac update cycles work? I'm looking at getting something like a macbook air/pro so I can deploy from Unity to IOS. I can claim the full price of the laptop as an equipment expense against my business so I'm not worried about cost.
I've had a look at the macrumors buyers guide but I don't really understand, do they continuously drop support for 'older' models in new updates?

Most older models take a bit of time until they drop support, however, it is a common practice of Apple to do the "self-feeding cycle" in which as the updates progress, older machines run progressively slower each time making them feel outdated and in need of an update. Apple is very good at this and is how they conduct iPad and iPhone sales so effectively by creating an area where users feel the need to consistently upgrade each year so they don't get "left behind". Another area they do is with is app developers, they update apps for the newer hardware, thus leaving behind the older hardware to not be able to run it, per say, 'as well as', the newer hardware.

Finally got around to replacing our old 10/100 switch with a gigabit switch.
Can't wait for the free upgrade to 200Mbit/s I'm getting at the end of the year :)
