I really think this site overblows the importance of RAM. I've used plenty of basic 256gb ssd 8gb i5 windows laptops and never encountered a ram issue during normal use. I think it stems from people forcing these machines to do more than intended.
Simply not true. It is simply not uncommon for people to want 40 or more tabs open and thus the need for more RAM. Especially if you use a few apps as well.
I am constantly near 8GB of usage and the GPU uses 2GB so I only have 6GB usable if I only had 8GB in total. Since I have 16 no problem. Before it would take some time to switch tabs now it happens in an instant. I only had 8GB to begin with. I like to have music tabs open in a second window to make it quick to go to them. I could not do that with 8GB of RAM. It would slow it down too much.
I may decide to buy this but I will upgrade it if I do.
I tried to get the Gateway I5 from VIP outlet but they canceled the order.
I just looked up my old Acer, Acer Aspire V15 Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 4K Ultra going on 5YRS now and no problems. I did upgrade to SSD and it runs constantly 24/7 as Plex server. Nice 4K screen but it's docked as HTPC so rarely open the lid.
the empty M.2 slot always comes handy. I got a Swift 3 for around the same price a while ago, however RAM can be upgraded in this model, which is a plus.
eBay has the deal at the same price.. $450 (refurbished w/ 2 yr warranty)

Bought this 2 days back but planning to return unopened after seeing all the broken hinge complaints against Lenovo laptops.
Which Steam games because that's like 10k games on Steam.....
