No most computer users find 8 gigs of RAM to be sufficient. If you are editing video or doing other heavy content creation you might consider more memory.

No video editing....i will use laptop as just browsing with 20 25 tabs open or using office kinda stuff and i will use Photoshop and medium graphics gaming and i can open at a time all of above using and switching between them

HP Recommended

Photoshop can be a memory hog. Depends on how many images you try to edit at the same time. Your usage pattern is probably more fitted to 16 gigs than 8. 

HP Recommended

you can think everything in basics.. i am not a pro user just for social media uploads and not regular

HP Recommended

Then 8 is plenty

HP Recommended

and as i have told you my laptop in just amd a9 dual core processor.. so do you think its can load the process for 16 gb ram capacity

 

HP Recommended

Sure it can...if you mean would 16 gigs perform better with that processor on memory intensive tasks yes, absolutely. You don't want to underestimate current processors. Even a lower end processor like an amd a9 dual core is still a very powerful machine for crunching ones and zeroes. 10 years ago it would have been considered a "supercomputer".
