Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough
woelkchen@lemmy.world 3 months agoShipping with Windows S. That’s Microsoft’s version of a Chromebook for some light web browsing for 188 dollars. I wouldn’t buy it but this doesn’t look like a rip off at this price point.
S mode does allow you to turn it off, so it’s more like a hobbled version of home.
The computer is as bad as one I saw several years ago with 64g emmc and “Quad core processor.” not a quad core, it was literally the name that showed in system. It did have 4 cores: at 400Mhz, boosting to 1.1Ghz. Buyer changed their mind and we couldn’t give it away.
Of course that notebook is bad but for the price point of shitty hardware, you get shitty hardware. Apple sells shitty hardware at the cost of premium hardware.

They could just raise the prize to $198 and slap another 4GB of RAM on it.

And if they raised the price to $250, they could go with a faster processor and better wifi!

And if they raised another 2000$, they could add an RTX 4090 graphics card
