My high end Dell that I used for my job at a startup that they let me keep after the startup collapsed in 2010 was a Dell Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz with 8GB of RAM, a 1920x1280 display (one the last with that beautiful ratio), a 500GB hard drive, Gig E internet, 892.11n and FireWire.
I put Windows 10 on it when it was released and used it for a Plex Server until around 2021. It wasn’t until last year that base MacBook Airs came with more than 8GB RAM and they still come with less storage than that. Not to mention that low end PC laptops still come at a lower resolution than my old Dell did.
