RAM is where the operating system stores

 

Storage Area

For memory, we recommend 16GB of RAM, and 8GB is the minimum. RAM is where the operating system stores all data from running applications, and it can fill up quickly. After that, it starts switching between RAM and SSD, which is slow. Most laptops under $500 have 4 or 8 GB, which combined with a slower drive can speed up the Windows laptop experience. In addition, most laptops now have built-in memory on the motherboard. Most manufacturers specify this, but if the RAM type is LPDDR, assume that it is sold and cannot be upgraded.

Some PC of hp manufacturers also sell memory and leave the internal space empty to install RAM modules. You can contact the manufacturer of the laptop or check the detailed specifications of the laptop online to confirm it. But look at the user experience on the web, where it can be difficult to get there, it may require non-standard or difficult to access storage or other pitfalls, including warranty violations.

 

Security

You'll still find cheap hard drives in budget laptops and larger hard drives in gaming computers, but fast SSDs have largely replaced hard drives in laptops. They can make a big difference in performance. But not all SSDs are fast, and cheap computers often have slow drives; If the laptop only has 8 GB of RAM, it can stop changing the disk and the system can crash quickly when you are working.

Get what you can afford, and if you must use a smaller drive, you can add an external drive or two later, or use cloud storage to expand the smaller internal drive. The only exception is for gaming laptops: we don't recommend using an SSD smaller than 512 GB unless you like to uninstall games every time you want to play a new game.
