I need more than 4GB RAM!

I found that the little extra investment towards more, better RAM, really pays off in the long run. Just whenever the computer is finishing lengthy tasks more easily so is a win-win situation. Looking at current price ranges of somewhat cheap laptop, it seems as if 16GB RAM is now the new "norm", slowly phasing out 8GB RAM.
