I also figured I’d share a meme that contained something along the following:</p> <p><figure> <picture> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" class="image_figure image_internal image_unprocessed" src="/img/old_laptop/meme1.avif" /> </picture> </figure> </p> <p>Instead, however, it’s early 2026, and I feel like a dedication to RAM prices would be a more fitting start:</p> <p><figure> <picture> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="" class="image_figure image_internal image_unprocessed" src="/img/old_laptop/meme2.avif" /> </picture> </figure> </p> <hr> <p>Memes aside, the lightweight laptop - what I’m typing this post on - has a whopping total of 2 GB of ram (1.88 usable) and an Intel Bay Trail processor from over a decade ago. And, believe it or not, it’s a pretty capable machine; at least after being very particular about what I install on it. The device itself is a former Chromebook, now sporting Coreboot and Debian 13.</p>
