With DDR5 RAM prices skyrocketing, some mid-range laptops could soon ship with budget-level specs. TrendForce expects companies like Dell and Lenovo to stock more notebooks with 8GB of memory. These reasonably priced options may no longer handle intense office and gaming tasks.
Most bloated apps like outlook and teams etc regularly use nearly a gig of ram each in my experience. Brutal.
I have single browser tabs that regularly suck down a whole gig. (And they still have input lag).
Ya that depends on the content too and what bullshit they load on the background. In this context, these days I look at tabs as apps lol
