The release of the HP Everyday Essential budget laptop with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB storage device has sparked a wave of criticism.

The device received an Intel N200 processor and an outdated resolution of 1366×768.

Such a decline in performance has been linked to a shortage of chips against the backdrop of an AI boom: manufacturers prioritize server memory, which makes normal RAM more expensive.

Customers have called the laptop virtually unusable, and for normal Windows 11 operation, it is recommended to choose models with at least 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB storage. #game
