I had 8GB of RAM in mine. I put Windows 10 on it and used it as a Plex server until 2016. I recently cleaned it up and gave it to my parents mostly for Chrome and to use one of my Office 365 licenses. It runs amazingly well and the 15 inch 1920x1200 (not a typo) is beautiful. I’ve probably had 5 Dell laptops since 2010 for various reasons and they have all been cleaned up, and given to someone who is still using them for basic Office + browsing. I recommend Dells wholeheartedly to people on a budget. I also recommend Backblaze. You can get a cheap good enough Dell for $400. My personal take is using any x86 computer after the M1 Macs came out is like using a flip phone after the iPhone was introduced. I really encourage people to buy at least an M1 MacBook Air now.
