With DDR5 RAM prices skyrocketing, some mid-range laptops could soon ship with budget-level specs. TrendForce expects companies like Dell and Lenovo to stock more notebooks with 8GB of memory. These reasonably priced options may no longer handle intense office and gaming tasks.

You can't measure memory consumption like that. You could run the same shit with 8 GB and it'd be using like 6 or 7 I bet.

Operating systems use spare memory to cache things for faster access.
