Probably making that hardware obsolete by design to make the consumer buy a new 'microsoft approved laptop'.
Nobody forces you to go along though... Grab a USB stick and dd that sweet Linux iso installer to it, and get rid of that sorry excuse of an operating system. -
PS. Gigahertz isn't a great indicator of processor performance. It means pretty much nothing on its own without other metrics like IPC (instructions per clock), and even then it's a very slipper comparison.
Eg. If I have a 1 GHz processor capable of running a program with IPC around 3 and a 2 GHz processor running the same program at IPC of around 1 then the "slower" 1GHz processor is executing 3 billion instructions per second while the "faster" 2GHz processor is doing 2 billion instructions per second. -
Why on earth would you buy anything with those dire specs these days? You can get over twice the performance with just a tad more money. Cheap laptops are a huge false economy.

Ya.. I don't get it.
It's like android. My old phone with 1gb ram and android 4 runner better then my phone with android 9 and 4 GB ram...
Well... It's all about business... -
Why aren't you sick of them putting windows on such lappies? Those specs are still possibly ok for casual use.

Na. Windows 10 uses like 3 GB ram after install...
You open 5 chrome tabs and your out of ram -
Root797704yAs everyone else mentioned, you should meet our Lord and Savior, Linux.
The only bloat is what you choose to add. No spying, either, unlike Windows XP+ (and especially 10). -
Btw a rasp py 4 is way cheaper and better lol. No windows 10 tough (I think, haven't checked lately)

I'm sick of companies putting 1.1GHz CPUs and 4GB of RAM in a laptop, Windows takes up all of the processing power and nothing is left for programs
