2GB is ok for what you normally do with a phone or tablet. Manage small chunks of data, writing, browsing, little development, some games.

I have used the Original Pinebook for about a year as my main private laptop and can say it was an enjoyable experience.

Of course it depends on what you want to do, it’s not high end but definitely usable and fun.

a chat program and a music program just started up, not doing anything but idling, nowadays use 500 MiB each. 2 GiB is not enough any more because everyone writes their apps in dom now, because it seems to be the only toolkit with vaguely viable, non-sucky state management libraries, and it just isn't efficient enough. this isn't intrinsic tho

(and then yesterday i just tried windows 7 for the first time in a vm with 2 GiB allocated, and it was far snappier than i could have imagined).
