You guess. When the Chromebooks came out they were less than $200. It
was an offer I couldn't refuse. These days you can get one for around
$200 to $300. I suppose you could say the price has stayed the same
since they first came out in 2011. I could get a cheap Windows computer
for under $300 but the performance is going to be horrible.

The problems would start with the fact that you'd only have 4 GB
memory.

I'm thinking about buying a cheap Windows 11 notebook, just to see the
current state of Windows computing. I'm just that kind of guy. It's
going to have between 8 to 16GB of RAM. Of course, it's going to be some
generic no-name machine out of Taiwan or thereabouts.

I always used to go for 16 GB. Now I have 32. I'm never waiting much,
unless our internet or my VPN is slow. I also have a laptop with 8MB,
that controls our printers. That often keeps me waiting a bit.
