8GB RAM laptops under ₹40,000: Get great performance at a decent price tag    

Buying a laptop can be very confusing for a regular user. A random google search will throw up so many options with so many specifications that you will be left scratching your head trying to make sense of it. Thanks to the marketing blitzkrieg, we are constantly thrown images of glitzy gizmos, the technical aspects of which we can barely grasp. Within all this, users do understand the importance of few factors that need to be considered. The processor speed (how fast is the laptop), display screen, design, etc. What many may not know or understand is the importance of having a good RAM (Random Access Memory).

RAM is a form of temporary computer storage that allows stored data to be received and read almost instantaneously. Simply put, RAM is very important for fast performance of your laptop. An article in HT Tech says: "In late 2021/early 2022, you need to have at least 8 GM of RAM on your Windows 11 laptop to keep things running smooth. Avoid those cheaper models with 4 GB RAM; they will struggle within months with basic workloads."
