you runnin' linux or windows 10? gaming laptops with 8gb ram, 4gb is just not enough nowadays even with just tabs open running chrome and youtube. HEM is probably using a lot of memory so go 8gb with i5 is good. I have i7 with 4gb memory and multitasking lots of pages isn't that great. i remember buying my kid 1 older i5 8gb 840m nvidia gfx its better than my i7 one jsut for the extra 4gb memory, lots under 800usd to choose from |
