🧠 What Is RAM—and How Much Do You Really Need?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is your laptop’s short-term memory. It helps your system run smoothly while multitasking or using heavy apps.
- 4GB RAM: Okay for basic tasks like browsing and document editing.
- 8GB RAM: The sweet spot for most users—smooth multitasking, online meetings, and light photo editing.
- 16GB+ RAM: Great for power users, designers, gamers, or video editors.
💡 Quick Tech Tip: Most modern laptops come with 8GB RAM by default. If you’re into creative work or gaming, consider upgrading to 16GB.
⚡ SSD vs HDD: Why Speed Matters
SSD (Solid State Drive) is the component that stores your data. It’s much faster and more reliable than the older HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
- SSD Benefits:
- Faster boot-up and app launch
- Quieter and more durable
- Better battery efficiency
- Ideal SSD Size:
- 256GB: Sufficient for most casual users.
- 512GB+: Better for media-heavy work or storing large files.
💡 Quick Tech Insight: All modern Macs now come with SSDs. At Quick Tech, we can help upgrade older laptops to SSD for a huge speed boost.
🎮 Do You Need a Dedicated GPU?
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) handles anything visual—videos, games, photo editing, etc.
- Integrated GPU (built into the CPU): Perfect for daily tasks, light video streaming, and office work.
- Dedicated GPU (separate graphics card): Needed for gaming, 3D rendering, and design software.
💡 Quick Tech Says: Not everyone needs a dedicated GPU. But if you're into gaming or creative software like Adobe Suite or AutoCAD, we’ll help you pick the right laptop with the power you need.
