      $600 at Walmart + RAM
      4050 is basic videocard of new generation, desktop’s bottom one is 4060 which is probably closer to laptop 4070.
      And desktop CPUs are like level and a half above.
      It can handle stuff but it’s kinda basic. There are some cheaper ones for $500 that have 3050 or 2050 but that will be much slower

    I just completed my RAM upgrade a few minutes ago. Here are my thoughts:
    1) There's no way I could've unhinged the plastic prongs without my new prying tool. I also had used the mini screwdriver to hold each corner up to be sure they wouldn't click back into place, but I was just nervous. I suggest getting the prying tool rather than the mini guitar pick ones because the leverage is so much better and it's around the same price as the 10 packs of picks.
    2) When inputting the RAM sticks, insert at a diagonal and gently push down until it clicks into place. I got two 16 GB sticks to be sure 100% they are compatible (anyone want my extra stick from the build lol). I didn't insert the second one at a diagonal before pushing down, so it didn't click into place. Removing and reinserting was a hassle.
    3) Unless you are also replacing the SSD, there's no setup once you turn it on.
    I'm pretty happy with my purchase, I'll be using this for college so I'm glad everything worked out. I choose 32 GB of RAM to be 100% sure there's no issues in the future, but I don't see the need to increase HD space with cloud storage. I'll probably only play a few games at a time on here anyway, so I don't mind reinstalling games.

      8gb - bad

      24/32 might be a bit better somewhere
      Adding 16 might be a good idea, so it costs twice less than 32gb and makes it 50% more ram than 16gb. And those a few extra GB might just what you need

    Hey i was wondering if you used it with its original windows install or did u do a clean installation? Ive heard online its better to do a clean install to remove bloatware from the laptop but im curios to hear your opinion before i do anything
    EDIT: also a video comparing the 16GB vs 32GB would be nice as im still considering if i should get the same 8gb stick from ebay or buy a new 16x2 set
    I got a score of 4239 on Furmark (8GB)

    • @alegreviews
      @alegreviews  3 місяці тому

      I m not really into testing. They won’t show any difference I think. It’s a matter of programs/games you have on, if RAM is enough - it’s good, if not enough - lagging, freezing - very bad.
      Clean install is more work, I only do it if I swap the SSD. I remove a few dozen apps after Windows installation and that’s good enough. Otherwise I can recommend clean install only for really advanced users who know what they are doing.

    Bought the laptop today from walmart, and ordered a 16gb stick off amazon. Gonna rock 24gb of ram for now, and eventually get another 16gb stick and a 2tb samsung drive. The ssd in the laptop is miles slower than the one on my desktop, and its been kind of a drag. Its also annoying seeing this thing cap out with only a few tabs open with 8gb of ram, I havnt had this little in a decade.

    • @alegreviews

      8gb of ram nowadays = send email or play roblox. SSD speed generally doesn’t slow down anything by much. Unless you copy from one to another. I tried to put games on samsung 980 pro and on old SATA SSD, wasn’t noticeable difference.
      24gb might be just enough. Just see if anything needs more - and if not - just stay at 24gb

      ​​@@Yuanshaohd7e7it's the 2024 model 4050, 60w+15w boost. It's a 75w. I've seen it hit 76-77 myself but no more. This PC is 599 currently at Walmart.
