It's 2025 and retailers are still selling gaming laptops with just 8 GB of RAM (www.notebookcheck.net)

My laptop from four years ago has eight, and it can just barely, barely manage BG3 at the lowest, most potato settings.

Then again my eight year old iMac has 32 and it takes twice as long to render video...Tried putting Mint on the thing but couldn't get it working right, boot took five minutes every time. Really weird.

Have you made it to act 3? It was murder on my old rig.

Finished about 1.4 play-throughs, yeah. I wanted to do the Durge redemption arc my second go-round, but I fell off it a while back. The rogue-monk brawler combo kind of trivialised it for me so I couldn't keep interested.

Monk is really strong with haste and that one elixir that gives you an action when you kill something.
