The RAM upgrade is 100% worth it and if the price difference is not alot between i5 & i7 and you have that extra money then really it's a no brainer!

Posted November 19, 2019 what i7 and i5 is it? it's not the i7 or i5 that matters as much as the numbers after. i work on an i3.8109u since it's an 8th gen cpu it's still fairly new and works very well for work. but if it's an i7-3000 series and an i5-7000 series then the i5 is much better Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously. keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed. i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

The RAM kinda feels like a "sure why not" but for 130 Euros all in it seems like a no brainer to upgrade the RAM and CPU, at least it'll be kinda more future proof.

Posted November 19, 2019 4 minutes ago, Hypoxz said: I5 8265U is very good you don't need to upgrade to the other cpu if it's just for school work. you don't need extra ram in your computer since you will only be doing light gaming but the choice is honestly up to you. there won't be a preformance differnece that is super noteable. the display in the computer should be the same and it isn't affected that much by your cpu unless you use integrated graphics Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously. keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed. i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Posted November 19, 2019 https://www.lenovo.com/nl/nl/laptops/ideapad/s-series/Lenovo-IdeaPad-S540-15IWL/p/88IPS501191 i can only see 3 versions and only one of them has a graphics card. so i'd definitly suggest that one since integrated graphics really don't do well with any gaming Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously. keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed. i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Posted November 19, 2019 yea. it doesn't really matter which one you pick. the cpu isn't going to make a huge difference for a long time. and the refreshrate screen you mentioned was probably with integrated graphics turned on. i've never seen a normal pc screen with 50hz refreshrate Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously. keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed. i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.
