Question When is 32GB of Ram needed? vs. 16GB - Lenovo Yoga with Ryzen 7 8840HS

[Titanion]

What would cause the Lenovo Yoga to need more than the 16GB of ram? If my daughter has Word, Excell, Outlook, and 20 open tabs, will the soldered 16GB be enough?

Thanks. Best Buy has this at $600! Even lower Open Box options.

igpu will use some of the system ram

I like it for her because it also has the 780M, but it is not easy finding a deal on anything with 32GB of ram. This looks like such a good deal, and the size and weight are what she wants.

16GB will be plenty for those tasks and more. Very few people actually need 32GB.

It's a shame that the RAM is soldered and probably not upgradeable but that's sadly the way most slimline laptops are nowadays

16gb would be enough for most situations and uses. but if she is at college or university. then she use if for "design" and "photoshop" in which case "24-32gb" is the sweet spot..

i just did a look at some videos for your model and its varients and none are ram upgradable.. all soldered. but they do have 16gb and 32gb variants.
