Yes, I know. My first real computer was 8-bit and had 5 kB of RAM. These days, it is the browser that makes or breaks a computer primarily. The CPU has to be faster than about 1.2 GHz. Secondarily the screen quality, there can be no PWM or UV light. 4GB of RAM seems to be enough although having more is better, because any unused RAM gets repurposed by the kernel to cache filesystem data and that helps speed things up.
