This looks like a super small resolution. Disclaimer: I'm not a math person.
I'd describe the product this way:
* 100% free hardware
* long-lived hardware
Hopefully I don't miss anything essential, but I feel any of the other
qualities come from those 2 ideas.
When I think performance, I think heavy image editing, heavy video and 3D
editing, heavy music making (not necessarily heavy metal), things like that.
For the most part, those are the needs of pros.
16GB of RAM would completely cover those needs, 8 would be more than fine.
Plus we're talking about free software, the encremental need for more power
isn't as steep, if I'm not mistaken (probably though, I don't know what I'm
talking about here).
