According to The Verge, 8GB of memory works mostly fine for basic tasks such as web browsing, text editing, and video streaming on YouTube and other streaming...
So a perfect streaming platform to make use of the cloud computing that comes after the AI bubble collapses and bunch of data centers need to find new usage.
I don’t think that is an 8GB RAM issue. I had a client last year but a bunch of the new surface pros with ARM chips, and they had similar hangups with 16GB of RAM. Frankly, those things never worked “right”, and I think it’s a problem with how Windows emulates x86/x64 apps on them.
8GB of RAM is still not great for Windows 11, but I feel like it’s a separate issue.
Which blows my mind they fucked up teams so badly! It started out as a very lightweight video platform from Skype, running on low end hardware. Then to be more competitive against Zoom, ramped up the garbage until it’s practically useless…

Probably too cynical take.

I’d say the 10 Chrome tabs were probably affecting memory usage more.

I hate teams so much. Some of my friends have never used anything else and they’re like “I don’t understand what’s so bad about it”
It’s like trying to explain to someone who lived their whole life in a sewer what fresh air is.
