How much RAM should a Windows Laptop have in 2021?
1,2418 GB RAM IS SO LESS! In this video I explain the need for 16 GB RAM as minimum in any Windows laptop in 2021. So before you settle for less and save money buying an 8 GB RAM, you should think again.
How much RAM do you actually need?
To be future proof, you must invest in getting at least 16 GB RAM on your Windows 10 laptops or desktops given how quickly applications are getting hungry for RAM to improve performance.
Please note, 8 GB RAM can get the job done - but just at the cost of speed and user experience. For smooth and future-proof work on your windows machine, investing in 16 GB RAM would be a wise decision. So, if its really a question of 8 GB vs 16 GB - 16 GB is always going to be the answer and even more relevant going forward from 2021.
What does RAM do?
It manages all the chaos in your computer - in other words, it manages and holds information that all your open applications need to function fast and smoothly. If RAM is less, then less information is held and you have to wait more often for things to happen. As you open more apps, more information is required to be held in RAM - and that's when your RAM starts to get used up.
So the next time, if you think which laptop is good to buy in 2021 - definitely think of one that has at least 16 GB RAM.
