FWIW, the RAM trend is related to power, heat, and the increased speed of disk. SSD performance offsets some of the reduction in RAM, at a much better heat/power cost. Swap is much more viable on SSD than spinning disks, making huge RAM sizes less important for most user tasks.
- Daneel_ 11y agoPower consumption is a valid reason, however most T- or W- laptops from Lenovo aren't aimed at the mobile user - they're aimed at the power user. I know I'd gladly trade an hour of battery life or an extra 500 grams of battery for another 16 gigs of ram. At least screen resolution and panel quality is being taken much more seriously these days.. It was a nightmare for nearly 10 years there.
