sorted byEdit: got the ideapad for £317 via amazon warehouse when there was 20% off. (edited)
Or, see the PDF Setup guide (page 13) dl.dell.com/top…pdf
Main benefit I've found with having more RAM is multitasking is better, & more browser tabs can be opened at the same time (if you're a multiple opened+pinned-tab user like me!). No, obviously won't get you greater FPS in games.
An 8Gb module costs just £10-15, so if you can afford that (cost of a kebab), then go for it - make sure to buy DDR4 SoDimm for laptops ebay.co.uk/sch…=15 (edited)

I would upgrade it. Dual channel will speed up things with the 4 cores to help with multitasking.
Should help the iGPU too. (edited)
Runs very fast, the Vega iGPU can handle Fortnite at 1080p on low settings, 60fps.
But yeah, this is circa 4-year-old tech now.
It’s for my dad to browse web and do his family history.
