I'll stick with an older laptop with 16 Gib for many years before I go back to caveman 8Gib again.
How about using the opportunity to offer the 0gb ram option? Their ram has always been a rip off.
So glad I have everything I need to safely ride out this AI dot com bust when it happens.
Im waiting for Sam Altman to argue OpenAI is too big to fail and demand tax payer bailouts after grifting so much investment capital on the false promise of an AI future.
It's a smart move. For mid lower laptops put the old legacy door with one screw to open a Ram slot so later the user can plug in a reduced price 8gb chip. Only the lowest windows models should be limited forever to 8gb.
Definitely waiting for this AI/datacenter/chipflation farce to burst into flames.
