The minute you said custom built from components you went off the rails of my argument. There is nothing standard or common about that. Very few people build their own computers from components, nor should they. It also ignores the fact that most people buy laptops. I am talking about the memory and storage configuration of the "typical" computer that an average consumer will buy from a big box store or a website. This has been 8GB/256GB SSD for a long time now. That is my source of complaint. Growing up in the 80s and 90s there would be absolute leaps in memory and storage every time you would upgrade your computer. That is no longer the case. We are just now starting to see some 16GB/512GB configurations appear on consumer default configurations after what, almost a decade?
