I doubt anything can get efficient with 16gb ram. You are going struggle in 6 months if you do anything more than basic tasks.
I meant battery efficient which it is does very well. Ram not being enough depends on the User.

Is 16gb of ram plenty?

My Galaxy book4 has been a dog lately and I'm wondering if the 16gb is holding it back, but they're still selling $1k laptops with 16gb, so maybe it's something else?

Nice specs. Good CPU and GPU but buying all this power at 2026 with only 16GB of soldered ram makes it a questionable choice at best.

How full is your storage? 16GB shouldn't be a big limiting factor.

Talking about the 4050 dedicated gpu vs integrated. Consume less watts while almost getting the same perfomance. Not really at 4050 level but close

Why is this getting downvoted? That 16GB ram is totally going to bottleneck the 358H.
I understand RAM prices are crazy now but facts are facts.

The OLED screen is beautiful, the features are good but since it has Low Power soldered RAM, it's only regulated to light work like word processing duties. If only it had upgradable RAM!
