   damn, there are so many laptops with 16GB soldered LPDDR5x... made within last 1.5 years. Why would anyone keep making laptops like that?

   LPCAMM2 can't come soon enough...

     @wolf480pl @ignaloidas maybe the solution to that is to try to use native apps instead of webapps

     @ignaloidas in this case my point is, considering the rate at which webapps' RAM requirements increase, if you buy a 16GB RAM laptop now, it will likely stop being sufficient in a year or two. Who would buy a laptop with such a short timeframe in mind?

     @ignaloidas my work laptop has 16GB and with 1 slack tab, 1 youtube tab, and a bunch of github and google drive tabs, I'm easily filling all my RAM, but...

     we've already talked about this before lol

     @wolf480pl@mstdn.io 16GB is enough tbh
     
     my work laptop has 16GB and it's never been a big issue
     
     now, my work isn't compute intensive on the laptop, but that can be said for at least 80% of office workers

     @ignaloidas no I mean, why would you make a 16GB RAM laptop in 2023?

     @wolf480pl@mstdn.io LPDDR5 does give a fairly good perf boost from better clocks, so makes sense in that regard
     
     Will see if LPCAMM can actually succeed, it does restrict the layout quite a bit, but maybe it will get adopted enough.

     @Hyolobrika @ignaloidas
     by native apps you mean webapps bundled with Electron?
