Hello,

I have listed 3 laptops below, assuming I am using for all these same task concurrently at the 3 laptops: 1 chrome browser open 100 tabs, 1 ms word, 1 ms excel, 1 pdf, 1 media player, 1 zoom, 1 notepad (I would need to switch between these programs often)

Q1. Would laptop A have more stutters/freezes than laptop B and laptop C? If yes, is it because laptop A has lesser ram?
Q2. Which laptop would have least stutters/freezes?
Q3. Which laptop would have most stutters/freezes?
Q4. Assume all 3 laptops are the same price, which laptop would you buy first? which laptop would you buy last? Why?

Thanks

100 tabs is impractical for any platform with 8GB of system ram. You'd need to look for something that can accept 32GB's of ram(either comes that way from the factory or you can upgrade to it).

4| I wouldn't buy either of them, not until I know what those 100 tabs are going through.

What sort of a budget do you have to work with? Where are you located? Preferred site for purchase? You're looking at yesteryears tech.
