It's absolutely valid IMO, sad to see you deleted it. 16 GB is still high end, but at the same time it has a big marketshare. Probably from RAM being way cheaper not that long ago, so it was also upper mid range. But now it is absolutely high end IMO. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hayvan@piefed.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) People kept assuming I don't know the difference between RAM and VRAM which got annoying.
