There is no justification for putting a computer with 8GB on the market. Not even the most extreme budget computer should be built with 8GB, this is just a scam

- PhilipRoman 4y agoI dunno, got a raspberry pi recently and realized that my daily work environment works just fine at it's peak with 2G of ram. Of course, bigger file cache is always better, but hardly mandatory.
- Tagbert 4y agoWhat do you base that on? If you are an HN reader there is a good chance that you do some kind of technical work that may push a computer more than a basic user who just does browsing, email, social media, and text-based work. 8GB is enough for those kind of activities, particularly the way people do mostly single-task work. That kind of usage may not justify spending extra for more RAM. If you are doing development, video work, lots of multitasking and if your productivity per hour is important, then you probably need more RAM.
