For simplicity sake if you have more RAM matching or not you will be able to have more tabs in your browser open without having issues….
Note this is for the older DDR4 and earlier. I believe this computer is DDR4. My understanding is DDR5 come in dual channel on just one stick of RAM.
More is usually better. BUT 2 matching 8gb sticks is better than one 16gb. But honestly 90% of normal users will not notice.
If I limit myself to only have 4 browsers open with only 3 or 4 tabs in each, it runs fine.
To do serious web browsing, I would upgrade to 16gb ram.
I saw this too on the BB website. Anyone feel this might be a better deal with the 16gb ram, of course it's AMD Ryzen. Any thoughts?

negatives:
half the storage 256GB vs 512GB
220nit display brightness compared to 300nit brighness
non-touch display vs touch display
entry level amd cpu vs lower mid level intel i5 cpu
positives:
16GB ddr5 ram soldered vs only 8GB ddr4 ram soldered + extra expandable slot ram.

2.. Ryzen 5 7520U is actually considered as a refresh of older architecture. In terms of benchmark performance, it's about 30-40% slower than this Core i5-1235U running in multi-core.
3. The good thing about your model is that has already 16GB RAM (but soldered), but this one only has 8GB. As long as you know how and is willing to add a RAM stick, then it's not a real issue.
4. That has a smaller 256GB SSD
In conclusion, this deal is much better in terms of quality and usability, provided that you will add an additional RAM stick.

Benchmark results show the R5-7530U is on par with the i5 in single-core but ~19% faster in multi-core. It also appears to be better in power efficiency.
Brand new R5-7530U laptop with similar specs is likely more expensive or you will need to compromise for inferior TN panel and non-touch display.

It doesn't sound like a ram issue it sounds like a win11 issue.
