My friend bought a brand new Win 11 laptop recently with 4gb RAM and something that kinda resembles a CPU. In it's default state it couldn't browse the internet. It also has EMMC storage so that is slow as well. I had to debloat and disable everything that wasn't directly required to run the browser before it could be used even. But it was $100 CAD new so I guess you get what you pay for.

    It's crazy. It shouldn't be allowed, and Microsoft should not approve of OEMs shipping 4gb laptops with Windows 11. But 4gb is the official minimum requirement for Win 11. What is crazy as well is that he bought it about a year ago, when RAM prices were still cheap.
