My Chromebox is 16GB but when I started monitoring memory usage (using diagnostics) I never saw a point when I was using more than 8GB - this is since Google optimised Chrome and Chrome OS with recent updates. In the end I bought the i5 8GB Acer 516GE and it is highly recommended as a great all-rounder with a fab 16" screen in a virtually 15" and light, too. The only downside is battery life where I tend to get around 6 hours compared to 10 or more on other Chromebooks - the price you pay for the spec I guess. £849 from Acer News, Mews and Views Bad news for BitLocker users — its encryption can be cracked remarkable easily Spiral-shaped lens provides clear vision at a range of distances and lighting conditions 31 year old sea-floor generator tech will soon begin commercial operation Microsoft is killing off Publisher in 2026 Hardline on the hardware Samsung will re-release the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet in 2024 - Official site Acer Chromebox Mini debuts as a fanless mini PC with ChromeOS New Chromebook ‘Xol’ emerges with an Assistant Key built in Easy-to-Repair Knockoff of Original iPod is Crowdfunding Smash The Wearables Watch Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro global pricing revealed ahead of launch Moto Watch 40 announced Phone Zone The first leaked Google Pixel Fold 2 image shows an extra camera and a new design HMD Global confirms there will be new Nokia phones You'll be able to use your Samsung Galaxy phone as your PC's webcam from March The Name of the Game Microsoft Store now lets you instantly try games without downloading them Microsoft is considering launching a number of Xbox-exclusive games on PlayStation - Starfield and Indy are NOT coming to PS5 Flap your trap about an App Microsoft's CCleaner-like PC Manager for Windows 10 and 11 is now widely available via the Store Microsoft's brand new PC Manager could actually slow down your PC Copilot will soon explain what you're reading in Notepad Audacity gets AI transcription and noise suppression courtesy of Intel OpenVINO plug-ins This fantastic File Explorer alternative now has its own list view YouTube's new Shorts feature is a direct attack on TikTok OpenAI’s new Sora text-to-video model can make shockingly realistic content - Marques Brownlee’s 12 Minute YouTube Video Google Gallows & Chrome Coroner Google Chrome's Android-like media player is just about ready Google One now has more than 100 million subscribers Google's Reading Mode app now works in Gmail and social media apps Hate replying to emails?
