That's a decent laptop, IPS screen is hard to find at that price. But dual core CPU. If you can spare the extra $180, I'd go for this IdeaPad 5 with a newer 6-core Ryzen 4000, better battery life, 2x...

You don't multitask on smartphones. That's why PC's have always had way more RAM than other devices. 8 core CPU and only 8GB of ram is quite frankly ridiculous.

That is helpful thanks. If I dont plan on watching movies on it, will the 252 nits vs 300nits make a difference?
Does the clock speed of the rame make a difference ?

Go to task manager and check your actual RAM usage and let us know before assuming RAM is an issue. I have 15 browser tabs open on Win 10 Pro 64 bit and my RAM usage is 3.7GB.

I think it will go the opposite direction, with time programs tend to consume more chunks of memory. Software developers take advantage of CPU advances, but at the cost of more memory.
