Yeah you probably don't need 24 gigs of RAM. 16 is plenty enough unless you are rendering 3d objects. Even in that case what you really should be worried about is your graphics card. Considering you bought a laptop you may not have a one at all, and if you do, it's like it's a piece of shit. Maybe consider an external graphics processing unit (egpu)

RAM won't be an issue, your build's bottleneck will be at the CPU or GPU but your main problem will be even simpler than that, Heat.
I used to have a monster of a laptop

Overheated every time I tried rendering something in Ae.
I stripped the laptop out of the plastic case and set the components in an open rack with a 22 inch industrial fan.
Still overheats.
Heat brakes GPU soldering and PC bricks
Put motherboard in the oven and after cooking t 10 minutes GPU chip is soldered again.
Turn it on, after 2 hours it glitches, GPU is loose again.
Nothing to do about it.

Laptops aren't made for heavy rendering, don't make the same mistake I made, get a desktop for rendering.

>has an 8gb onboard RAM
wat?
I had never heard about onboard ram.
If this is truly the case (which I don't think) make sure your other ram has the same frequency.
Unsynchronized RAM is a waste of money and time

people rendered 3D with 256MB RAM in the 90s, retard.

The laptop Gpu is pretty good (GTX 1060), and can play pretty. Much all modern games on ultra settings at full HD.

I do agree heating may be a problem though, we'll see...

Thanks for the input guys. Appreciate it.

>24

Why the weird number? Go 32.

Literally my first thought when reading this post.

Why don't you ask >>>/g/pcbg ?

Laptop only goes up to 24gb due to design limitations
