>2017 >4GB of RAM

>>60180453
My laptop has 2gb

>>60180609
sorry to hear

OP is right

It's fucking unacceptable.
Nowadays ram is cheap as fuck

There's absolutely no reason to have less than 8gb

>$999

>4 GB RAM
>Windows 10 S

Something has to change. Either lower the price by $800 or give it better specs. 16 GB ram minimum and full Windows 10. This is ridiculous.

Chromebook wins.

>>60181561
Perhaps battery life?

They need a model with minimal specs just to get to claim the longest battery life.

Serious buyers will go for the 2500 euro model anyways.

>>60181600

Fuck your shitty "books"

Get a macbook

>>60180453
Its not really an issue when you're only doing word processing, and using Edge.

Still feels like they really cheaped out though.

>>60181608

yeah because 4gb more of ram would drain the battery

>>60181623
I don't expect any legitimate user to buy the lower end models of the Surface Laptop. Their mid range has better specs than the mid range MBPs for a lower price.

>>60181561

RAM is price gouged to hell because normie phones need it

Windows 10 is a very modern os, highly optimized for the hardware
It will deliver excellent performance and maximum possible battery life

>>60181608
>Perhaps battery life?
nope, that's LPDDR3, which basically doesn't use any power when not in use.

Do you understand why Chromebooks are so popular?
Because while they are limited in what they can do, they're also really goddamned cheap. $249 gets you a decent Chromebook that allows you to create/edit documents/presentations/forms/spreadsheets/etc, play light games, save/manage files, listen to music and browse the web. That's all the majority of people need from their computers, and Chromebooks are specialized for that type of use.
Of course, there are people like musicians, YouTubers and gamers, who need more powerful computers to do more specific things, but for the most part, normies just use their computers for documents, music, porn and Facebook.
Google figured this out a long time ago and hit a home run with the Chromebook. This is why Chromebooks are so popular.

MacBooks are nice and wholly capable of almost anything, but not everyone needs a $1,000 laptop when they don't even edit videos or make music. Most people don't even know how to use Photoshop.

Not everyone needs a Ferrari. The Chromebook is the Prius of the laptop market. Doesn't do much, but it does what it can do very well.

>>60181668
>I like being cucked by Microsoft!
You probably use Microsoft Edge, don't you

>>60181616
Aye, don't bash Chromebooks. They're actually pretty nice. Just a simple, reliable, cheap, no-maintenance machine that does exactly what you need and not much more.

As >>60181848 said, not everyone needs a Ferrari.

>>60181561

Can you use office without the yearly subscription on chromebooks?

>>60181848
I've also wondered how tablets are being sold for $400+, that is still being run by phone apps, and no one yet can really justify what they're used for.

Anyone care to educate me on this?

>>60182663
Not that Anon but Office Online offers a good slice of the MS Office functionalities. You can use it in-browser on a Chromebook.

>>60180453
Then buy some more you retarded faggot.

You aren't buying this laptop for the specs.

>>60182798
you cant?

Cloth keyboards are a bad idea.

>>60182836
Thought the same until I used the Surface Cover on the SP4. It feels so fucking good, and for god sakes it's not just "cloth".

>>60182794
It doesn't offer one crucial feature...

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Offline work.

Thanks for the advice dad.

>windows 10 running on 2gb of ram

>>60182865
Hey I only said it was a good slice. Being able to work offline is at least great. Maybe even excellent.

Seriously though you're right, you do need an internet connection to get decent MS Office compatibility on a Chromebook. Otherwise it's a crapshoot with Docs.

>>60182777
Just a nice big phone without the phone shit, which not everybody uses enough to justify the ridiculous prices of phone plans.
It's nice to have something to grab on the night stand to look something up or read, watch some youtube videos.
They are the modern day PDA we used to have before they added phone circuitry to them and called them smart phones.
I wouldn't pay $400 for one though.

4 GB is perfctly fine. I don't run into any problems when I browse. Also using Firefox. ME3 also works pretty well.

>>60182879
my old tablet ran on 1GB fine

>>60181561
There is, DDR2 2 GB sticks are more expensive than a whole Phenom/C2D rig is worth.

I'm going to upgrade anyway, this is just my HTPC, 8 GB DDR3 for 10 €.

>>60182794
Office online and google docs are both fucking shit and you'd know that if you ever wrote a proper document in word.

Do you live in Africa? I just bought a complete i5-3550 bundle for around 60 € and a 560 Ti for 10 €. Every poorfag should be able afford something like this. If it is your primary rig you might spend 90 € for a R9 290.

I run Windows 10 on 4 gb. As long as you don't multitask ram hog programs it's fine

4gb is fine if you don't use VMs or browse like a retard with 30 tabs open.
Even 2gb is enough if you use a lightweight desktop.

Stop falling for bullshit gaymur memes like muh 32 niggabytes dedotated waaaam.

Office used to be free via the Android apps until Microsoft started charging for Chromebooks.

But why would you even want to use Office when Drive is available free to anyone with a Google account, anyway?

>>60184259
This. If what you're doing can't properly be done in Docs, then Office isn't your solution either and you should really be using LaTeX

>>60180453
What seems to be the problem here ?
It's not a gaymen computer so the 4gb is just right for its purpose.
