My company computer had 4 GBs of RAM... And an HDD with Windows 11, the worst fucking experience.

HDD in 2023? Why?

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 14 points 2 years ago

Meanwhile my i7 thinkpad with nvme somehow is not compatible with windows 11.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well neither is my surface pro 4 but I don't want 11 and that machine still works great anyway.

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.
