HUGE MISTAKE, HUGE MISTAKE. I would like to retract, It's 503MB. Still, I find that perfectly acceptable. I went to Best Buy's website, and saw the best sold machines. There's one that's really cheap ($229) and comes with 4GB's, definitively not a productivity machine. Then there's an HP for $399 that comes with 8GB. Another for $100 more with 12GB. I filtered out for laptops with more than 8GB, brand new (not refurbs), and you can get a 8GB complete machine for just $379.99, that's less than many popular phones out there (and I'm not talking about Apple products). I get it, some people live in poor countries, I live in a relatively poor country (Portugal). And I know how this might sound like. But you are programming, you are not sheltering, feeding, or helping people. You are working for big $$$ corporations. Like any worker, you should ask for fees that at least cover your equipment costs. Remember that 0.5GB is 6.25% of a modern computer's memory. Back in the C64 days, you bought a 64KB machine for less $$$ in the 80's, than those computers today, and after boot up, and BASIC, and it only had 38911 bytes free out of the 65536 bytes. So, only 59% free. Back when computers had 1MB of RAM (early 90's), anyone can point me, to an editor that only costed 62.5KB of RAM? I think I'm not going to find it... unless it's just notepad.exe. Etc. etc. etc. The problem is that people, for some reason, started to think they need a new phone, for leisure, every 2 years (in some richer countries, it's 12 months), and a new PC, a tool for work, only every 10 years. And that the phone can cost $1000 and it's okay, and the PC, cannot cost more than $500 or it's "overpriced". I think it's ridiculous.
