forster Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Model? What are you using it for? Usually there’s deprecating returns after 32GB, if you’re gaming or just browsing the web it’s a bit of a waste.

MtnDewCodeRedFreak Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Long story short, I got into a pedestrian (I was that peddy!) accident and broke my elbow last Nov 2023. Had to endure through hell of surgery and therapy and all. After I “graduated” therapy (I’m perfectly fine right now! No worries! Hehe) last January … Decided to get my parents involved in the lawsuit. Turned out I won. So bing bang boom, here I am with the tech upgrades. Oh and don’t worry abt the hospital bills - I got that paid off in full! Yay! 😁 Fairlytayleree and Brandon H 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1443471-is-128-gb-ram-more-than-enough/#findComment-598914317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should you fell envy for it? That is up to you. You have to remember though, for each one that boast of something, there is another person that can do the same in a much more diminishing way. E.g. Just one of my camera lenses amounts the price of all that has been shown here. But Iḿ very well aware that there is people whose cameras amount almost a car, therefore I keep quiet. Still, I legitimately think that one should not aim to compare and rather, is best to congratulate them. xrobwx71, trieste, Fairlytayleree and 1 other 3 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1443471-is-128-gb-ram-more-than-enough/#findComment-598914406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way of showing off a new machine was not the way that I would have done it. Indeed, there's my review of my laptop when I got it, none of the questions about if there was enough RAM just to turn around and show off what I have. But when we get new kit, we react in different ways. I'm not adverse to it. 🤷♂️ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1443471-is-128-gb-ram-more-than-enough/#findComment-598914463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted July 5 Supervisor Share Posted July 5 Hello, I have the same laptop, although with a slightly different configuration. It's a good workhorse laptop for things like hosting multiple VMs, testing software, and so forth. It is big and heavy, though, so I would recommend getting a good quality, comfortable backpack to carry it around in so you distribute the weight equally across both shoulders. I'm using a Tom Bihn Brain Bag with one of their Cache padded pouches (model 17B) to carry mine in—it works very well for this purpose.

I dunno, Im able to tap about 80GB of the 96GB of my laptop's ram any given day. It wasn't that long ago I could tap 128GB. Pretty easy to do when running VMs and docker containers. xrobwx71 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1443471-is-128-gb-ram-more-than-enough/#findComment-598914486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
