Too bad we can't see how fast Windows would start up after the upgrade. For the rest, thumbs up! I am upgrading to my T470 from 8 to 16 GB. After a week I can say, that performance was already good, and did not improve much. I have dual channel for my ram now, so it works optimal and that's fine for now.

Also i've only heard of PC memory with increments of 8, so 16 GB, 32 GB, etc. Is there any issues with 24? Thanks again for all the information!

What do you need to check in order to review if the cpu can be upgrade in a laptop?
@TechWithTylerArruda Жыл бұрын
Most laptops (if not all modern ones) have processors soldered to the main board. This means that in order to upgrade the cpu you would more than likely need an entire new motherboard (which is not cost effective). Ram and Storage are the main upgrades available on laptops (some laptops even have these components integrated with the motherboard also like apple)

great video! I was wondering, is there enough power to support 32 gb ram in such a small computer? plus: would 32 make a big difference compared to 8 when cutting videos, and will the battery drain quicker with more ram?
@TechWithTylerArruda 11 ай бұрын
Hmm good question I’m pretty sure this laptop supports a max of 32. As for the battery, if you need more ram then you are probably doing more intensive work which in turn would make the battery drain faster.
