It is also requiring a 2Ghz quad-core with 8G RAM to edit a simple document. Cheap powerful computers have enormous potential but that is just being squandered on ever-deeper layers of abstraction. Most of what I do, in terms of applications like word processing, spreadsheets, etc I could do on a 30-year-old, 2Mhz 8-bit with 32k RAM (i.e. a BBC Micro, and I do!).
