8GB RAM in a 2026 laptop is a paperweight (this is a discussion, not question)

With the recent worldwide RAM crisis and the rise of AI, 8GB of RAM on laptops is barely enough in 2026. Chrome itself takes about half the memory. So, I think at least 12GB of RAM is necessary for all tasks.

The virtual RAM extension is a gimmick, infact it doesn’t allow the phone or apps run faster. Even for gamers or those who like multitasking, extended ram won’t be helpful. What are your thoughts?

Oukitel K6000 Premium Leaks - 6GB Of RAM, 6,000mah Battery, Touch ID

According to the source in Oukitel, they are going to have a new device named OUKITEL K6000 Premium in next few months.

Oukitel redesign the appearance of K6000 Premium to make the phone a true premium piece. We’re talking about Oukitel K6000 Premium which will feature 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage according to our source at the company. According to the info, this handset will sport a curved glass back, and will ship with a 13-megapixel camera on both its back and front side. Sony’s IMX258 13-megapixel sensor will be utilized on the device’s back, and we still don’t know which sensor will be used up front (quite probably one of OmniVision’s sensors), but we do know that the company will include a front-facing LED flash here as well. Anyway, the dual 13MP cameras are very attractive for those who like selfies.

Besides, the K6000 Premium will carry a curved glass-smooth back cover like Samsung Galaxy S7, a 5.5-inch AMOLED FHD display, Helio X20 chip set clocked at 2.5GHz, Android 6.0 OS, fingerprint sensor and Hi-Fi audio. Those all seems amazing, but don't know when it is available and what the price is.

i need to know more about one plus 3 as i am looking for more ram and battery life 

Expand RAM

Hi.My PC comes with Gibyte b365 hd3 atx 1151 motherboard (I think it has 4 memory slots and dual channel) and Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 2666 RAM, PNY RTX 2070 SUPER TRIPLE FAN graphics and supernova 650 gold power supply.

I want to expand to 32GB and I wanted to know:

1. With the previous configuration is it possible / recommended to expand to 32GB?
2. Do I have to expand with the same configuration (2x8GB) and with the same RAM?If not, I listen to recommendations.
3. Could I install the new RAM myself?Is it difficult considering that I never installed one?Any tutorial?

Thank you.
