  • Why do cheap laptops now come with a shite amount of storage? Big HDDs used to be cheap enough, now they seem to come with ~64GB of eMMC instead.

    Trying to get something for my dad, who's shockingly tech illiterate. He's looking at a ~£550 touchscreen folding whizzbox and it's such a waste of money.

  • Because 550 is mid range so they'll scrimp at the cheap end and you'll get a 64gb emmc.

    Easier to get a refurb mid range than a new cheapy

  • Easier yes if I take the responsibility. Is 4GB enough RAM now? My laptop struggles with 8 but I'm shocking at managing my tabs on famously efficient firefox
