My company computer had 4 GBs of RAM... And an HDD with Windows 11, the worst fucking experience.
HDD in 2023? Why?
Meanwhile my i7 thinkpad with nvme somehow is not compatible with windows 11.
That was the weird thing as well, only my PC was eligible for an upgrade lol.
Dumb company decisions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Based on everything else, price.
I think it's so you can write 1000GB on it and have be cheaper than a 256GB machine. My folks had a 2019 laptop with an HDD, I'm not even being figurative here, they literally could not use it, 10+ minutes to boot it and load a program. Constant 100% I/O usage. Stuck some RAM and and a SATA SSD in it, it's been a daily driver ever since.
The computers from 1921. As a standard in a corporate environment
I open the two essential Excel tools that we use all day + teams and outlook and I'm at 10gb of memory usage...
Yeah I know, 4 GBs was a fucking nightmare back in the days when I did my colleague homework in 2014... It is even worse now.
