Yeah, my work laptop is essentially a thin client, as everything is done via browser.

Even remote VDI instances are accessed through a web page now.

On top of that add all the corporate bloatware and securityslop-ware, and suddenly my "thin" client is using 60% of 10 available cores and 85% of 16GB or RAM.

I don't think it needs an explanation on how insane that resource usage is.
