It's effectively short term inflation for electronics. Depending on the vram and nand quantities and qualities it's easily 200-300%

8GB? For a Windoze OS?

Are you not supposed to have anything else in there, like photos or a video or, shudder, software?

Minimum system requirement fow Windows PC (with Copilot+, not sure if this has the chip, but if yes it's funny) is 16gb, per their official page.

Edit: Hah, the article mentions it - it loses the Copilot+ status. Lol

But, if I'm looking at it right, ithas the + CPU. So they just don't have the ram.

Thats hillarious. Their AI bubble push has... Priced them out of selling AI.

Too bad governments won't step in to stop this abuse of monopoly power. The worst part is they don't even have a place to put all the hardware they ordered. They literally bought it all up so their competitors couldn't. They deserve to get smacked down hard, but no government has the will to do it.

They got a solution, AI in the cloud.

Give up your computer sovereignty and just use a thin lan client to connect to their computer. Why buy when you can rent for more and never own anything.
