[QUOTE="nullpc, post: 2521894, member: 125184"] I meant it's not just enough to put an SSD and 4 gigs of RAM. Given Chrome is a baseline requirement for most legit usage of the system in question, unless you want your SSD's lifespan to reduce dramatically within few months, one would be smart to have 8 (ideally 16) gigs of RAM or more. That doesn't stop them from adding crap that's forcing users towards their next big shit which also adds unnecessary entropy into a stable checkpoint. Given you are an experienced user, you must remember all the deliberate hiccups caused during Win7 → Win8 and Win8 → Win10 migrations. And we're still in the beginning phases of Win10 → Win11 migration. I didn't mean to measure lol but I'm sadly a lot older than that :) My point was specifically to compare against the "modern era"'s beginnings which kind of kicked off with W8 and its ambitions. Things have strayed quite a lot w.r.t focus of the OS itself and their marketing dept seems to have a lot more control. [/QUOTE]
