This is my first post. Thanks a lot for the valuable information here.
I'm in the process of buying a laptop (100% sRGB, FHD, recent i7, 512GB SSD). I plan to store my RAW files on a NAS and generalize the use of SmartPreviews on the laptop. I don't care about export times and batch smart previews rendering, but I want something snappy when culling and editing. It appears that cheaper laptop models (like Acer Swift 3 for instance) tick all the boxes but have 8GB melted and non-upgradable RAM. I'm currently running a 16GB desktop driving a 4K display and directly managing RAW files, and LR routineley eats 6BG RAM (more when pano stiching and such).
So my question is : how slower would be an 8GB laptop when compared to a 16GB one (I mean mostly for use cases such as editing or culling) ? I know it will be smaller, but I cannot figure out by how much.
