When is 8GB enough, and when do you need more?
8GB RAM is the minimum capacity for a modern system. It's excellent for web browsing, working with documents, video playback, and light office use. For many games today, and especially if you like to keep dozens of Chrome tabs open along with Discord in the background, you might feel limited.
| Browsing / Office | 8GB is completely sufficient |
| Light Gaming | 8GB might be enough, 16GB is highly recommended |
| Heavy Gaming / Streaming | 16GB minimum, 32GB ideal |
| Photo / Light Video Editing | 8GB is borderline, 16GB will provide a better experience |
