Hello, gbs. We apologize for your confusion. This system features 16GB of RAM or memory with an Intel Arc graphics card with 4GB of dedicated graphics memory. Your system RAM (random access memory) acts as temporary storage for your processor (Intel Core i7 in this case) to use as it needs. Your graphics card has dedicated graphics memory for a similar function, helping to process graphics and video tasks. To learn more, here is a link to two Lenovo webpages -- "What is Video Memory?...": https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/what-is-video-memory/?orgRef=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F | "What is RAM?": https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/what-is-ram/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.16 GB of RAM for the computer itself and the Intel Arc graphics card has 4 GB of its own RAM just for the graphics side of things.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The laptop's main memory - the RAM - is 16GB large. The graphics card on the other hand has a separate 4gb for it's uses. I found this that might help: Dedicated memory (GPU RAM) is RAM specifically used for video purposes, running software unrelated to the GPU is not saved there, System RAM on the other hand, stores anything currently running, that goes for any software that you are currently using and even on board video purposes (or for spill over when the Dedicated RAM is full)
