You guys could offer a 11-12” laptop with a Ryzen 3 or a Athlon and 2-4 GBs of RAM. I would definitely buy that.

8GB RAM is really a minimum these days with heavy apps like firefox and LibreOffice, even raspberrypi has 8 for $75. There was that $200 3rd gen AMD from Walmart briefly. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen3-windows-linux&num=1

I've been running Gimp or Gravit plus Chrome with KDE on 1.2ghz ARM Cortex and 1gb of RAM (936MB Usable) I think 4 is fine

I think this suggestion should be kept open
