This is not limiting mid-range laptops. This is making more low-range laptops. Just because you’re making more lower tiered laptops doesn’t mean the midrange adjusts as mid-range is based on specs/performance. This is basic taxonomy.

The average laptop produced by these 2 manufacturers will see a decrease in specs.

I bought a 64gb desktop in late 2024, in addition to many other expensive features. They can kiss my ass.

Hasn’t Dell had a bit of a rough patch with they’re laptops lately?

It would seem like absorbing this RAM shit storm would help out their image right now.

Lol, forget a browser, is that even enough to run Windows 11 well?

(In before jokes about windows 11 ever running "well")

and cant we just put fucking ddr4 or ddr3 on it? why does it got to be bleeding edge all the time?

I may limit myself from buying one as well.
