Hey guys,

Check it out!

For me personally, 8gb of ram is the minimum for today's Windows 10 laptop or PC. I have a gaming pc and I bought it with Intel i7, GTX 1060 with 16gb of ram. That was a couple of years back. And, I'm typing on the pc right now. What I like is how smooth everything still is. That's what you want.

I also have an Acer laptop with Intel Celeron N4200 with 4gb of ram. It stutters once in a while. I immediately, upgrade the ram to 8gb. I wanted more than 8 but, 16gb was way over my budget. I think it cost around $100+, then. Can't really remember. Now, it runs a bit better.

My HP 15s, AMD Ryzen 7, came with just 8gb of ram. As it was on offer, I thought it'll do for now. I can always upgrade later. Currently, it runs pretty smoothly. So, I've no complained. My only complaint is the Radeon X Vega 10 graphic card.

I was pretty disappointed when I tried playing Dirt 4 as I thought, the graphic card will be able to handle it. Silly me, I thought it would be on par with my gaming pc Gtx 1060. Turn out, it's only half as good. I had to go all the way down to ultra-low to be able to play the game.

One thing I learned when I upgraded my low-end Acer laptop is that after I upgrade my ram from 4 to 8gb. I can now play some games smoothly. With just 4gb, you can't really do much. I'm not a technical expert but, that's why I say 8gb is just great for minimal laptop or pc task.

The other day, my ex-colleague told me that his wife wanted to upgrade her Pc ram from 8 to 16gb. Her pc is running out of storage and things are starting to lag. She doesn't game and uses it for her work. Just another proof that 8gb of ram just doesn't cut it anymore.

If you can afford it, get the maximum specs that you can get so that it can last you for years to come. You don't want the hassle of having to upgrade once, everything starts to slow down. Especially, when you need your computer for work.

Talking about the hassle, it was really a hassle to take out the back cover of the HP 15s laptop. I actually had to use a prying tool to take it off. I don't remember ever having to use a prying tool to upgrade ram or a hard disk. Whoever designed the laptop must think it's a good joke. 

I actually thought of just ripping the bloody whole back of the laptop. That's when I decided to search on Google for any kind of tutorial instead.

After looking at a tutorial that almost looks like my HP laptop, I decided to pry it open. It took me a while to discover the easiest way is to start from below the touchpad. I was really afraid of scratching my laptop and chipping or breaking the cover. It's still just a few days old!

While cursing at HP, I finally, managed to slowly pry open the laptop without scratching or breaking anything. It was all worth it, as I discovered that there are two slots for the Ram. So, I can easily replace them whenever I want to. 

Now, my thought is to either just buy an 8gb ram or if it's really cheap, I can get 2 x 8gb ram to make it 16. I think I'll just buy an 8gb ram and add it to the 4gb ram to make it 12gb ram. Which isn't that bad. Another 4gb of ram would do wonders. Especially, if I want to game on the laptop.

I won't do it now though. The thought of having to pry again the laptop really scares me. If anyone at HP is reading this, fire the idiot that design the back cover and making me use a prying tool just to open that damn back cover of the laptop!
