Every time I see the word “admits” in a headline, I skip the article.

Another brain dead article.

32GB RAM is kind of the sweet-spot for gaming. For regular office work, sans all of the security software loaded on Windows by IT departments, yeah 8GiB has always been fine and is above the minimum system requirements.

It's too bad this reddit slop gets posted to HN. Really drives down the quality, here.
