My new PC has 64g ram. But I'm also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!

But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I'm surprised that browsers haven't become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.

Phones are coming with 12GB and Apple are still only putting 8Gb in their ‘pro’ line.

Does it really matter though that iPhone has less RAM? Their architecture is super efficient and can get by with less than android bloat.

Oh not their phones. Their $1799 14” MacBook Pro.

ChromeOS is more of an OS built to optimize a browser though. Its close though.
