An okay laptop with 16GB of RAM is better than a nice laptop with 8GB, and this $520 HP OmniBook proves it
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.
INSIGHTS
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.
