But Facebook and Youtube and Gmail run perfectly on 5 years old hardware - probably even much older. Why would anyone need 16GB RAM or a blazing fast SSD for web browsing or other simple tasks that even phones with much worse specs can do these days?
- bluedino 14y agoI was streaming a sporting event the other day, and my old, but still very useful laptop (2GB, SSD, T7500 C2D 2.2GHz) was being crushed. It streamed fine but I couldn't do much else on that laptop, memory usage was through the roof. I don't have that issue with YouTube but not every site has such an optimized player/media combination. Good thing I have a second laptop that I could continue to use for normal tasks at the same time.
