    Selling a $1600 laptop with 8gb should earn them as much derision as the apocryphal Bill Gates quote about 640k.

    Moreso, really, because at the time that quote was attributed, 640K was at least sufficient for the vast majority of people.

    In 2023, 8GB unified RAM isn’t adequate for much beyond browsing the internet. These benchmarks clearly show that you lose a huge amount of performance (well over 50%) going with 8GB over 16GB.
