    This stuff is almost ewaste.

    This is just not enough memory to make a computer last, especially since you can’t upgrade.

    Websites and apps that a lot of people use just aren’t really expecting to only have 8gb ram available. Any kind of multitasking could easily run out of ram

      Macbooks, even these low spec ones tend to outlive other laptops substantially. The better build quality and higher resale value keeps them in use much longer.

      The argument these devices are e-waste doesn’t make sense and doesn’t track.

      I’m fairly sure my computer uses more than 8 GB of RAM every time I much as look at the Chrome icon.
