    I personally don’t think there has been a massive spike in productivity using a computer between when PCs usually had 256-512mb to now

    For general use/day to day stuff like web browsing, sure, I agree, but what about things like productivity and content creation? Imagine throwing a 4K video at a machine with 512 MiB RAM - it would probably have troubles even playing it, let alone editing/processing.

      Your original comment mentioned general purpose computers. Video production definitely isn’t general purpose.

      What do you mean by productivity?
