RAM is the working memory of your laptop. This allows you to temporarily save files that you use, so they load faster. The more internal memory you have, the more processes you can execute at the same time. 8GB RAM is enough memory to send emails, work in Office programs, and play music at the same time. Choose a laptop with 8GB RAM with a high memory speed for extra fast memory. We recommend 16GB to perform many demanding tasks at the same time.
