I assumed that there is an 8 GB soldered and a 16 GB replaceable memory stick in the laptop. I didn&rsquo;t think much of it at the time of buying, I was just happy to have more RAM (in the end 24 &gt; 16).</p> <p>However when I already had the machine for a few weeks, I wondered, would it be better to have just 16 GB of RAM but have it run in dual-channel mode?</p>
