So I've been looking into options like the LOQ 2024 (4060 one) and the Asus TUF with the 7700S, but the one things that I've been sceptical about is the memory on the laptops. According to the titles I play, should I stick with a 16GB memory (possibly expandable later) or buy a 32GB one given that there's a good option available. Recommendations are much appreciated.
