With Windows 7 and 8 I never use less than 8GB. 16GB if you're doing
anything more than just word processing or emails. Less memory is not

What has lap/desktop to do with it? It's what programs I use.

My point, which you seem to have either missed or deliberately ignored,
is that very few laptops can take more than 4 Gigabytes of RAM on the
motherboard.
