"But if even Microsoft can’t make a Windows laptop that runs well on 8GB RAM, what hope do OEMs have? 8GB is not enough for a Windows laptop in 2026. Barring Microsoft actually de-bloating Windows 11 enough to accommodate lower-spec computers, your best bet is to spend more and get something with 16GB of RAM — like the same Surface Laptop for $1,150, something from another manufacturer that still sees some decent sales, or look into refurbs and open-box models from reputable sources. Or just cop out and get a MacBook Neo."

Or hear me out on this rather crazy, maybe even revolutionary idea: PC laptop manufacturers should start to ship laptops with Linux instead.

I'm just saying...
