    8 gigs of ram for some shitty laptop is fine. Like the air shipping with 8 gigs of ram is fine (not great, but fine)

    But for a “Pro” machine, let alone a 1600 dollar computer is insane.

      MacBook Air is a $1000 computer too though :/ I bought a Thinkpad t480s with 8gb of (upgradable) ram for less than that back in 2019. currently running it with 24gb.

      What is someone likely to use a shitty laptop for? Open a web browser to run ~1080p video?
