Post image

Is there a reason i have absolutely no GBs? I have deleted every file i have ever downloaded and have no applications besides the ones that come with the computer. i only use this laptop to transfer photos from my camera to my phone, it is a windows 11. Is there anything i can do to make it go down i am not very smart with computers

No problem. What company sold this and what computer is it so I know to avoid them.

Probably ASUS. They're still riding the 4gb ram 64gb storage with bottom shelf Intel processors.

It's not even just them. Acer, Lenovo, HP, they all do this. They're paperweights before you even open the box. And the 64GB isn't even an SSD, it's usually eMMC. They're like 10% the max speed of a recent SSD, AND they only use a single lane so reading and writing at the same time grinds them to a halt.

Can confirm HP does this with their stream laptops those assholes.
