Depends on the definition of mid-range. I would say 16 GB is much closer to mid-range (in the global sense). 32 GB has definitely been baseline for the enthusiast gamer.

DDR4 got so cheap, you could sprinkle it on a build like parmesan cheese. DDR5 is still relatively expensive. I see a lot of people landing on 48 gigs.

I went with 48GB of DDR5 for my Framework 13 laptop. Originally intended 64 but the extra cost wasn’t worth it, for my use case at least.

I don't know a single hanger with 16gb. Not a single damn one.
