I have been using s**tty small portable labtop for 5+ years (I even don't know how much RAM it has because it is meant to be used as a portable sub labtop for travel) and that is fine. I am even a quant research who uses STATA. Very few of us do complicated bigdata computational type of things.

Same. I have a new computer with a smaller screen and just keep using the old one heh

My cheap ass laptop has 4 GB of RAM and it can run all my quant stuff just fine. No big data/computational stuff but some SEM etc. It's a little slower than my desktop, but it doesn't hinder my work when I use it while travelling or when I just want to work from the couch.
