It's quite bad actually. Was issued a very basic work laptop (not really a primary PC). 8GBs probably seemed just fine.
Unfortunately running a browser, outlook, and teams was enough to cause really annoying hickups. I didn't even realize it was my laptop, because I was remoted in somewhere.
I'm more than a little salty that an 8GB PC can no longer run a pretty basic suite of work apps, simultaneously. I guess all three of them have assumed that they will have gobs of memory to themselves.
