- dangus 6mo agoApple under-speccing their machines like they’ve been doing since the dawn of time is not some kind of indicator of any trends. You can buy $350 PC laptops that come with 12GB of RAM (example: https://www.staples.com/asus-vivobook-x1404-14-laptop-intel-core-i5-1334u-12gb-ram-256gb-ssd-windows-11-home-x1404va-i512256/product_24657529 https://www.staples.com/asus-vivobook-x1404-14-laptop-intel-...) RAM shortages will be quite temporary. Making predictions based on individual component shortages has never been a winning strategy in the history of the industry. Next you’ll tell me that graphics cards will be impossible to get because of blockchain.

- curt15 6mo agoChromebooks still start out at 4GB (example: https://www.acer.com/us-en/chromebooks/acer-chromebook-315-cb315-3h-cb315-3ht https://www.acer.com/us-en/chromebooks/acer-chromebook-315-c...), and it's not like Google Chrome is lighter on RAM than Ubuntu's default browser.
