that's considered a slow machine these days?

Compared to my normal 64 GB Ryzen 3600 Desktop with a dedicated GPU, yeah ;)

I do run MS SQL Server and several IntelliJ IDEs at once, so it feels slow.

This is the most sold laptop on Amazon in France today: https://www.amazon.fr/Jumper-Ordinateur-Portable-1920x1080-B...

8gb of DD3 ram, 1.1ghz 4c/4t CPU from 2016. Many people who buy this will have it for at least five years. This is what the average computer experience looks like, just imagine how windows runs on this.

Most people who buy this are probably not software developers working from home ;)

maybe, but for sure some do use alt-tab

Interesting. On other systems, for lighter workflows, we can still stay on 4GB and processors part of almost 3 Watts hardware.

Not running Windows 10 or 11 I hope.
