> My comment in this case was triggered more by the way op phrased and presented their needy needs, I interpreted it as unreasonably narrow and selfishly entitled. I've encountered enough, neigh too many odd ducks IRL who come across this way and experientially, they've been "Homer Car" types every single time.
That's somewhat fair, but I did only have two criticisms, so I don't think I quite fit the homer car stereotype (although give it a few decades, and I'm sure I'll be "old man [yelling] at cloud") The rest... I couldn't critique, because we don't really have a solid spec.
Right now I'm using a laptop with 16GB of soldered on RAM; it's not the upgradability there that really concerned me, but rather the fact that they advertised 16GB as a solid selling point. 16GB these days, while respectable, isn't an impressive number. Advertising it as your base, without mentioning upgradability, seems a little out of touch. I don't use much memory myself, I'm a VIM user, and I avoid anything overly heavy, but I have colleagues who could make could use of that RAM.
As for the screen, that does come down to preference, to an extent. But, it's 2022, why has screen quality stagnated at FHD? HiDPI should have been standard half a decade ago.
