Is 8GB of RAM Still Enough?

Not really—and here’s why.

With the shift to Windows 11, smarter apps, and more multitasking than ever, we’ve started recommending an upgrade for most of our users: move from 8GB to 16GB of RAM.

In the past, 8GB was enough to keep things ticking along. But today, between Teams, Outlook, web browsers (with a dozen tabs open…), security tools, and modern cloud-based apps, that 8GB gets eaten up quickly—especially on laptops.

The result? Things slow down, and productivity takes a hit.

Why 16GB Makes a Difference

  • Smoother multitasking
  • Faster boot times and fewer slowdowns
  • Better performance for Teams, Excel, Outlook, and browser-heavy work
  • Future-proofed for upcoming software and updates

It’s a small upgrade that gives your device a new lease on life—and it’s quicker and cheaper than you think.
