The laptop is only used for office!
No, that's not enough…
If the laptop is only used for working with Office, the thick one is enough. 19 years ago the best computers had 4-8GB and we easily got there.
I would expand with an SD. My PC has a SSD, there are only the operating system and the drivers on it and the 240GB are already full.
Not memory.
Alright. I meant hard drive space. Believe it or not, the computers did not always have three-digit storage space, in 2000 the current computers had 4-8GB hard disk space and RAM in the MB range, which was enough for Office.
Nonsense! If he only uses the laptop for working in the office, that's enough. 19 years ago the common good computers had 4-8GB hard disk space and we got there easily
Always to work. Windows will take around 20-30 GB depending on the settings. The paperwork that occurs with Office would fit on a USB stick with 4GB in most cases. And even if the memory becomes scarce, USB sticks and external hard drives with more memory offer themselves for the sake of an additional backup.
What should a computer from 19 years ago have to do with it now?
19 years ago the best computers had 4-8GB and we easily got there.
According to this logic, an Internet connection with 1 MBit / sec is enough for you, because 19 years ago an ISDN modem was enough? 😉
OK thanks. Will only load a few programs like Open Office and such!
The question was asked whether 64GB was enough for Office and not whether it was better. The answer to this question is yes.
It is logical that there are better computers, we do not have to discuss it.
Storage space and what it is enough for.
And what does your reasoning have to do with "19 years ago" with TODAY?
The answer to this question is: little.
64 GB is enough to get a current Windows system up and running properly. Then there's no office on it, let alone space for files.
In addition to the storage space it occupies, a Windows system also needs storage space for swap files etc.
Therefore, no: 64 GB are no longer sufficient these days. Not even for the simplest applications…
We live in today. Not in those days. What is the significance of what was enough 19 years ago?
Was there FullHD video back then? Back then were there gigabyte-sized databases? Rather very rarely. Nowadays it's rather ridiculously small.
In my opinion, that's easy enough.
But check if the eMMC memory is. As far as I know, it is very slow.
I assume that an operating system is already installed on the questioner's computer. So he / she only needs office or something free, like LibreOffice. That is enough. The size of normal office documents has not changed since 19 years ago and if 8GB were sufficient at the time, 64GB are sufficient for pure office use, provided that Windows is already on it and there's still space available.
I'm assuming that Windows is already installed and that there's remaining space. You don't need the normal office, there are also very good free versions. And the size of the documents has not changed since 2000, so I stick to my answer, yes, it is enough!
Oh, you assume that Windows is already installed. Whatever you do… But that's how you can at least save the answer.
I also assume that it is a computer with an older version of Windows if it "only" has 64GB storage space.
I also wrote from "Remaining space", which is what is left after Windows has been removed.
Do not assume so much and stick a little more to the information that has been given… Then you have to pull less carts out of the dirt afterwards… Just as a hint ;-)
