Size Matters

Read Original

The author criticizes manufacturers for selling low-spec, inexpensive Windows computers (e.g., with 4GB RAM) that provide a poor user experience. Using personal anecdotes about family members, they contrast this with older, well-spec'd Apple hardware that remains performant. The article then briefly introduces emerging concepts like process migration (teleforking) as a potential future solution for offloading compute from underpowered machines.
