Intel Atom, 1.66GHz. 2Gib RAM.

I mostly run a web browser, some terminal emulators and a mail reader. Oh, and Emacs.

Insane. Can I ask how you live like this? Is it a income issue or a statement?

I'm from a developing country and I had a 2010 dual core Celeron notebook with 4GB DDR3 and I found it unusable in 2016-2018. Can't imagine still having to use that today. Especially for browsing the web today.

It was hard for a while just before Firefox had their big optimization push. But ever since, it’s still workable.
