    I'd love your insights on these options. Pros, cons, personal experiences – anything you've got, I'm all ears! Let's share knowledge and geek out together.

    Looking forward to diving into the discussions and learning from your expertise.

single sticks of RAM will impact performance in a negative way. Go for laptops with 2x$RAM Stick instead

Also, I personally wont use a Lenovo laptop because of their long history of shady business practices.

Asus quality control has fallen rather hard as of late.
