Simple Laptop Memory Question
Simple Laptop Memory Question
I need something for school, something that will also help me put together YouTube videos no higher than HD. I'm thinking HP Pavilion . . . .
My desktop is quite old, with 12 GB RAM. I'm seeing laptops with 64 GB. Clearly there is a market for this. What is that much RAM being used for?
Thanks!
What is the model and make of your laptop?
I believe 12gb should suffice for your needs.
If you don’t currently have an SSD installed, that would be the first step I’d take.
I don't have my own laptop. I'm using an old ACER gaming machine I got for my child about twelve years ago, but it's really not up to the job these days—the back panel needs taking off or the hard drive will overheat and get damaged! I rely on an iPad for Zoom calls, and I don't like iPads. I'm looking for a device of my own to use at school and maybe create some YouTube videos while I'm there.
I understand that HD resolution is more than sufficient for a laptop, and I won't be playing any serious games on it. I don't want a touchscreen or a 2-in-1 model. It should support streaming and video playback in HD without problems. And then there are those Zoom sessions...
I think anyone doing CAD work would need a much bigger screen. Maybe the 32 and 64 GB RAM models are just for school projects?
I have to admit, seeing four or five thousand dollar laptops is shocking. The prices seem way too high, like they're overpriced. Back then they were new and weighed over ten pounds. Prices went down over time, but once manufacturers started removing optical drives and hard drives, those costs skyrocketed.
Imagine a scenario where a customer requires a device that balances portability with strong performance. For instance, an architect working remotely would need a laptop that can handle demanding tasks while being easy to carry. A 'significantly larger monitor' might not always be beneficial in this context.
I bought a laptop for my wife instead of myself. It was a Lenovo Legion 5 with 16GB. I'll continue using my kid's iPad for now. My TI-99/4A originally had 16KB of RAM, and my Apple IIe had 64KB. Nowadays, 16GB is standard. That's really cool!
