[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1805184, member: 110816"] If your current machine with 8GB is doing what you need, the 8GBi in the MBA will suffice. You can go to 16GB to do more, but perhaps you can spend that money on the upgrade of the SSD or go external. With my Chrome, I try to keep the tabs in check but once in a while I will open multiple ones when I'm doing some research and for that I've found a nice extension called Suspender that will suspend unused tabs after a period of inactivity. That way, they don't take up any resources and can be re-started when you need them. From a CPU perspective, each generation of the CPU will perform better at a lower rated speed than the previous generation one at a higher speed. So a 2.3 GHz 8th gen CPU is way faster than the a 2.8GHz 5th gen CPU. [/QUOTE]
