As a Romanian web dev, my 8-y-o laptop has a 4-core CPU, 12GB RAM, and 256GB of SSD space.

The laptop cost about 110% of my monthly entry-level salary.

Romania is significantly better developed and more affluent than most of the world. My similarly aged laptop had much worse hardware than what you're describing and cost 200%+ of my old entry-level salary. (I don't use laptops anymore.)

GitHub CI also has much better network connectivity (both speed and especially ping) compared to most parts of my country.
