EDITOR BRIEF
The article argues that today’s laptop market has been distorted by rising memory costs, leaving even pricier models with only 8GB of RAM. HP’s $520 OmniBook 3 stands out because it offers 16GB of RAM, making it more practical than some better-built but under-specced alternatives.
COMMENTARY
As software and browsers keep demanding more memory, RAM is becoming a baseline usability feature rather than a premium upgrade. Budget laptops that prioritize everyday performance over fit and finish may appeal to buyers who need longevity without paying near-premium prices.
