Consider boosting your Acer Travel Mate 215’s performance for virtualization tasks. With only 16GB RAM, adding more memory will help avoid bottlenecks. Since your CPU is Intel i5 10210U, upgrading RAM should significantly improve multitasking and virtual machine handling. If you already have enough RAM, installing more RAM is a better option than buying a new laptop. Just ensure the new RAM is compatible with your system.

Your laptop with a dual SO-DIMM slot can handle up to 32 RAM modules. It’s likely safe to upgrade to 16 or more. I’d recommend going for the RAM boost.

You have two SO-DIMM ports. If you're satisfied with the notebook, consider upgrading the RAM.

I’m sure extra RAM would be beneficial, though it won’t boost performance significantly. The exact performance gain depends on the specific task.

Yes, you can run four virtual machines simultaneously with an upgrade to 16GB RAM.

Four virtual machines require a stronger processor. Depending on their tasks, 16GB could still be insufficient. Upgrading to 16GB would improve performance slightly, but only marginally.

I understand you're a college student and might not need to buy a new laptop right now. Thanks for sharing the details!
