Well my point was less of an indictment of modern computers, and more an indictment of web designers and to an extent application programmers, who are increasingly the same crowd with shit technology like Electron.
Seems like we had a lot of computing tasks SOLVED in the 90’s, but they expand to take up their container. A Raspberry Pi will run laps around the PC I grew up with, but it’s considered pathetically underpowered by today’s standards.
My point is that for office tasks, a 150$ laptop isn’t just an option, it honestly will run office tasks incredibly well. Telling someone to not spend less than $500 on a laptop because it will run horribly is almost ten year old advice, and not helpful in 2023.
The latitude 5490 sells for 150$ and has everything a person running office stuff would want.
