    Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI’s demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don’t make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

      I’m happy both my PCs have 32 😅.

      Laptop is at 16 but the expansion slot is broken so it is what it is. 16GB on linux is alright for me though.

      I did splurge on a 2TB 990Pro SSD though, that I am so happy about!
