8GB barely works for anything but web-browsing and word processing nowadays

I got a new low-cost laptop (MSI Modern 14 C12M, just over $800NZD which would be about $475USD) with an i3-1215U and 8 GB RAM. It's perfectly snappy on Win11 (doubtless one of the world's most bloated operating systems) even with >a dozen tabs (including YouTube) on Firefox, compiling stuff in WSL2, and running a small VM in VirtualBox at the same time, and I believe it'd be fine for plenty of games too. Android Studio works

This is my most important criteria for a low-cost laptop:

Don't get anything with an Intel Celeron/Pentium or AMD Athlon etc., or an eMMC instead of an SSD, or Windows 11 “S”, all of which would indicate the thing is basically today's version of a Celeron netbook from ~2010 (or to say the same thing differently, a Chromebook with Windows on it). The worst i3 you can find will still be 1,000,000 times better than any Celeron/Athlon.
An SSD, some RAM
