    Too bad we can't see how fast Windows would start up after the upgrade. For the rest, thumbs up! I am upgrading to my T470 from 8 to 16 GB. After a week I can say, that performance was already good, and did not improve much. I have dual channel for my ram now, so it works optimal and that's fine for now.

    • @TechWithTylerArruda
      @TechWithTylerArruda  Рік тому +4

      You will only find a difference in performance if you were to compare many programs open at once with 8gb vs 16gb. The more ram the more stuff you can have open at once without slowing down!

Also i've only heard of PC memory with increments of 8, so 16 GB, 32 GB, etc. Is there any issues with 24? Thanks again for all the information!

    • @TechWithTylerArruda

    What do you need to check in order to review if the cpu can be upgrade in a laptop?

    • @TechWithTylerArruda
      @TechWithTylerArruda  Рік тому

      Most laptops (if not all modern ones) have processors soldered to the main board. This means that in order to upgrade the cpu you would more than likely need an entire new motherboard (which is not cost effective). Ram and Storage are the main upgrades available on laptops (some laptops even have these components integrated with the motherboard also like apple)

    I was wondering, is there enough power to support 32 gb ram in such a small computer?
    plus: would 32 make a big difference compared to 8 when cutting videos, and will the battery drain quicker with more ram?

    • @TechWithTylerArruda
      @TechWithTylerArruda  11 місяців тому

      Hmm good question I’m pretty sure this laptop supports a max of 32. As for the battery, if you need more ram then you are probably doing more intensive work which in turn would make the battery drain faster.

      This was an install for someone else and that’s what they decided to go with!

    Ffs… some of you guys need to out and touch GRASS. Seriously, get your head out of being obsessed with a generic looking laptop. It’s just a laptop that is the same looking as all the other friggin laptop sold. Who cares what brand it is. They’re all junk.
