> 16gb ram Basically dead on arrival. I still can't understand why the industry is stuck in such low amounts of ram. I had 16gb ram in my ThinkPad X220 from 2012 in like ~2015 (when 8gb modules were available). Now it's 2024 and we're seeing brand new laptop models with 16gb models of *soldered* on board memory ?

  > Especially coming from electron happy msft I don't understand what the problem is. Teams runs perfectly with 16 GB of RAM. Now, if you also want to run something else ... /s

    I don't get why the electron Office apps are so much worse than the browser-based ones. Shit's mind boggling.

Soldered is the issue, not 16GB.
