Is the 16gb good enough? null

Apple's Mx chips are a much more efficient design than the Intel chips. This efficiency lets the Mx-based Macs do more with less. I have this same laptop with the same amount of RAM and use Final Cut Pro on it; it performs significantly better than my previous i7-based MBP with the same amount of RAM. So unless you plan on doing some really intensive tasks, 16 GB will be plenty.

It depends on what you plan to use it for. I run an emulator on Android Studio, while watching videos, and listening to music and it gets up to around 13 GB usage. If you plan to run a dual boot program like Parallels for windows gaming and apps, I recommend 32 GB for sure.
