8GB on a non-toy laptop in 2023 just seems like e-waste to me.

- cesarb 3y ago> Smartphones have 8GB ram now. I took a quick look at the site of a major retailer here, and the first smartphone I clicked on (Moto E22) has 4GB of RAM; I then clicked on five other smartphone models, and of them, three also have 4GB of RAM (the other two have 2GB and 3GB). My own main smartphone (which is neither of these models, and is a reasonably high-end model) also has 4GB of RAM. From this quick look, it seems 8GB of RAM isn't that common for smartphones.
