    Meanwhile my i7 thinkpad with nvme somehow is not compatible with windows 11.

      Well neither is my surface pro 4 but I don’t want 11 and that machine still works great anyway.

    I think it’s so you can write 1000GB on it and have be cheaper than a 256GB machine. My folks had a 2019 laptop with an HDD, I’m not even being figurative here, they literally could not use it, 10+ minutes to boot it and load a program. Constant 100% I/O usage. Stuck some RAM and and a SATA SSD in it, it’s been a daily driver ever since.

  I open the two essential Excel tools that we use all day + teams and outlook and I’m at 10gb of memory usage…

    Yeah I know, 4 GBs was a fucking nightmare back in the days when I did my colleague homework in 2014… It is even worse now.
