JCitron is spot on with Ram increase....
On my mini Lenovo 540, 12.5" Laptop, I was able to get 16 Ram on it Versus my huge 17" Asus Rog Strix, that came with 16 Gigs of RAM, and I was able to double it.....Normal Lenovo's come with 8-12 Gigs of RAM, I had to search a bit for this model, since I wanted the smallest lightest one I could get for Travel.....Asus used to go on Travel, but it is big and heavy to tote around on Airplanes etc......
Took my Lenovo to Amsterdam for couple weeks to see how it would work out, it was superb!
I also went from 500 GIG Drive to 1 TB and 2 yrs later now to 2Tera SSD's......
My Lenovo has 1 Tera SSD now, and is 2/3's full....I bought another 2 Tera SSD, and will use the original 1 Tera drive as backup for Files, no programs only backup........
Noticed you didn't put your Hard Drive Size, rule of thumb, whenever you can Purchase time, or if not, later upgrade to largest Hard Drive, (recommend SSD) to the largest size you can afford.......Sounds a bit crazy, I know. But with the way program and Assets Files grow in size, larger is always better, depending on Specs of the Drive....
Another thing to think about, I use Cloud backup, and when you do, that is just more HD and RAM needed to move all those 100's of 1000 Files up too and down from the Cloud..
Windows not withstanding Trainz are hogs when it comes to the constant Files being written, moved, deleted, including tons of Temp files in the back ground, unseen by the user.........
When doubled my Ram from 16-32 on Asus Laptop, it really smoothed out my Cloud Backup times.......I never realized till noticed that my programs and backup running simultaneously didn't jittery movements when playing with trainz etc....
Now in rear view mirror,
Trainz is usually better, when you run it solo, and go into Airplane Mode, and shut off all non essential programs....I do this quite a bit and seems to run much better for me, your mileage will vary of course.....
Hope this helps you a bit......:wave:
