Yes, you'll need the good eyesight to simply right click on the desktop and change the resolution scaling in the display settings. Oh wait, you won't even need to do that because Win 11 defaults to 200% scaling on this laptop. The scaling can be changed down to 175% to give a little more real estate. (edited)

I wouldnt recommend less than 16gb ram on a new computer as anything less means it will not be able to keep up with newer software or if your needs change. if you want your laptop to be still useful in 2 years time you need 16gb ram minimum as ram is not upgradable on newer slim laptops.

for the current range of modern software, photo and video editing and more advanced browser use you need 16gb ram.

You can get by on 8 gb - I have spare laptops which I use which range from 4gb to 16gb. The thing about the ram is the more ram you have the more you can do and the more modern software you can use.

4 gb is ok if all you do is browse web pages and basic file work and simple use of the browser, even then it will struggle if you are streaming videos. 8gb is fine for a few browser tabs and more powerful office products but no photo or video editing and you will mainly only really be able play older games (edited)
