8gb ram has been common for over a decade now. It's what I would expect in a sub-$400 laptop.

$75, 8gb, and this isn't even the latest model. https://www.microcenter.com/product/622539/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-8gb-ddr4

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn't QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.
