This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
You can buy a laptop with 4 GB of ram these days?!
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.
4gb is the minimum? i thought they had changed it to 8
It has always been 4gb I believe. Now with the RAM situation I doubt the requirements will go up anytime soon. 4gb budget machines will probably become more commonplace unfortunately.
The minimum required to run Windows.
Nobody said anything about running other applications.
