Memory (RAM).

Imagine: your brain works just like the RAM (Random Access Memory) of a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. RAM is the fast memory your laptop uses to actively work on tasks such as opening programs, editing documents or browsing the internet. It is the power behind multitasking.

Think, for example, of opening a spreadsheet to make a budget. The data is loaded into RAM, where you make changes, add figures and edit them. This is similar to how your brain processes information while you work on a task. But just like RAM, your brain also has a limited capacity. Too many open tasks can slow down your laptop – or in your case, disrupt your concentration.

The solution? Use your working memory wisely. Save important data regularly, just like your laptop saves files to a hard drive. This frees up space to process new tasks smoothly and ensures an efficient workflow.

Our advice:

• 8GB: Basic use, internet, browsing, watching videos and school use.
• 16GB: For most users who work on the computer more often, multitasking and photo/video editing.
• 32GB: For professionals with large files and multitasking.
• 64GB: Overkill, mostly for specialised applications.
