well, there is your answer. You can afford to have it open, I'm running on 8GB ram so the jetbrains ram usage has a considerable cost.

Are you still in school? If yes, well just take RAM into consideration next time. If no, get your boss to buy you a decent laptop immediately.

yep first year. Funnily enough, I have a laptop grant from uni, waiting to see how those ARM Macs turn out.

Or consider getting a better PC with more ram and faster nvme drives for the same price.

If you are a developer and you can't afford a machine that has more than 8 gigs of RAM, what are you even doing?

studying :)
