    My company computer had 4 GBs of RAM… And an HDD with Windows 11, the worst fucking experience.

        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.
