Maybe they'll (re)start selling laptops with Linux pre-installed!
Or switch to ddr4, lol. Laptop CPUs are crippled garbage anyway, might as well use old ram.
At least in my country DDR4 prices already increased by a factor of 2~3, so don't count on that.
It's not really any cheaper. The only way you can save money is by not buying anything but sticking with what you have already.
