Close to five years after Microsoft first launched Windows 11, the tech giant is finally offering the smallest token of love for cheap Windows machines. Microsoft further promised to fix Windows 11’s Achilles’ heel—the excessive amount of memory the operating system hogs, even during minimal use. Apple’s macOS is also less of a memory hog than Windows 11. With just 8GB of system RAM, a weak PC may have only a small percentage of its memory left for other apps. Those users who are currently suffering on 8GB Windows 11 laptops will be the real winners here.
