Cheap Laptop

[Ryan Petris]

Looking at the actual machine, note that it only has 4GB of RAM, which is likely not upgradeable, and 128GB of UFS storage (not NVME), and thus is likely not upgradable either. So, that's all it's going to have ever, and the disk is going to be a bottleneck, at least for writes.
