    8GB is more than enough RAM. Windows is artificially inflating minimum requirements and the mainstream tech nerd will eat it up because they fundamentally don’t know anything different.

      It really depends on what you’re running. I have a T480 rocking 8GB with Mint installed and it works great for casual use. I’d still want to upgrade it if I want to do something more substantial though.
