What I don’t get is how memory for internal chips have skyrocketed while the costs of USB sticks have dropped to unheard of levels. I know they’re made differently but it still doesn’t make any sense.
USB drives are not RAM.

RAM memory is very different than the memory (chips) in flash drives and NVMe drives. NVMe prices have been climbing. Bottom line is that a new HP or Dell will cost you more in 2026 onward.
