Hey everyone! I'm currently using an Asus UP3404V (Zenbook 14 Flip) for work, but I'm running into some performance issues. I have 16 GB of RAM, and it's starting to feel insufficient—especially when I have multiple tabs open in Brave for research. My task manager often shows RAM usage up around 90%, and even after restarting the laptop, I see around 60% usage with no apps open. I'm considering an upgrade to 32 GB of RAM. Is that even possible?

You might want to consider reinstalling Windows. The RAM usage you're describing seems abnormal, especially just for the OS. A fresh install could help clear out any issues that are eating up memory.
If you're feeling like your laptop's running low on memory, it's a good idea to check resources to confirm you really need that upgrade. There are some great guides online to help you assess whether more RAM will help. But just a heads-up, if your RAM is consistently over 90%, it might be time to look at other solutions too.
I've had the laptop for about a year, and I've noticed this issue from the start. Seems like I might need to explore other options!
