With DDR5 RAM prices skyrocketing, some mid-range laptops could soon ship with budget-level specs. TrendForce expects companies like Dell and Lenovo to stock more notebooks with 8GB of memory. These reasonably priced options may no longer handle intense office and gaming tasks.
Maybe they’ll (re)start selling laptops with Linux pre-installed!
Or switch to ddr4, lol. Laptop CPUs are crippled garbage anyway, might as well use old ram.
At least in my country DDR4 prices already increased by a factor of 2~3, so don’t count on that.
It’s not really any cheaper. The only way you can save money is by not buying anything but sticking with what you have already.
