My not-terribly-new phone has 12GB of memory, and I'm pretty sure that Android is a lot lighter on memory than the Windows 11 that I suspect a lot of these are going to be running.
Don’t worry Microsoft will shove as much agentic AI bullshit into Windows 11 as they can, further ruining performance.

I think that OpenAI has probably kind of bashed a hole in the bottom of Microsoft's boat on the local AI stuff, if 8GB is going to be midrange.
But AI can download RAM.
