For casual use, 8gb is perfectly fine. If you need a cheap, basic laptop, this is a solid deal.

Try installing a fresh install of Windows 10/11 with all the bloat AI crap they've been shoving in there and using a modern browser with what, anything more than 2 tabs? You'll run into a wall quick. So yeah basically DOA.
8GB shouldn't even be sold anymore, unless you're talking about a RasberryPi.

And no, I'm not implying this laptop is a good deal. There are laptops with better processors and more RAM for not much more money. In fact there were deals for laptops with upgradeable RAM slots for this price or even lower recently so I don't recommend this.
HP 14 at Costco is going to be $350 with 12gb of RAM and a significantly better CPU.

There's literally no reason why laptops today can't come with 16GB as the baseline. RAM costs are low enough that it's just about manufacturers choosing to cut corners, oh yeah let's make it soldered too. And sure, 8GB might work for some, but it's easy to max out fast, especially with the way apps and browsers are evolving. It would make way more sense if 16GB were the minimum spec for modern laptops.
But hey lets just go for bare-ass minimum yeah, maybe 4GB? Keep those profit margins up.

They're pinching pennies far more than 8GB vs 16GB. Like using 1x1 WiFi cards in low-end laptops instead of 2x2, when the cost difference between them is far less than 8 vs 16GB. So 16GB baseline isn't happening anytime soon.
