![]() I know from first hand that IE 11 still has terribly junky performance on both regular sites and webapps. A real problem would be system was thrashing (page-faulting and swapping in pages from disk all the time). The rest really should be utilized, instead of relying on fetching data from the web / disk. You seem to have about 25% of memory free for random stuff. (b) High RAM utilization is NOT necessarily a bad thing. (a) The simple summing of memory for chrome processes is wrong (ignores shared memory) Hope you get one (in orange!) and like it several people stated, there are two issues here: Then you see the list instead and can abort of select the app you want, not just the last one. You can turn this off by going to Metro settings > PC and devices > Corners and edges > Turn option 2 "When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them" to off. Pretty unsettling and annoying after it happens several times. One problem with the trackpad gestures is that a rightward swipe too close to he left edge is registered as a left edge swipe, causing the last app to come full screen. The trackpad is error-free for me, although I mostly use touch. ![]() So far I haven't had to change the resolution to deal with any scaling issues, but some things get pretty tiny (but still clear). I use IE11 primarily and occasionally Opera and have never had any memory issues from my browsers. I got the i5 since I didn't think the i7 was enough of a performance jump to justify the price, but I wouldn't dream of getting less than 8gb of RAM these days. I have an 8gb Yoga 2 Pro (in orange) and it's awesome. UPDATE: A commenter below says my results are flawed as I'm not taking into consideration how shared memory works. 4gigs just isn't reasonable no matter what browser you're running. Measure for yourself.įor me, I need more RAM. Your system, your sites, your browser builds, and your video card will change these results. They were/are the ones I have on my machine and the ones I use. It may be that these browser builds aren't all optimize for memory usage. If I run a small PowerShell script to collect the chrome.exe's and sum their physical memory use: $m = ps chrome | measure PM -Sum ("Chrome MB " -f ($m.sum / 1mb)) Regular "pages" (things that aren't heavy JS users) like Troy's blog or ArsTechnical use maybe 10megs. Some tabs that are "apps" like Gmail and Outlook use a 100megs or more. Here's my task manager showing the Chrome "Canary" processes:Īnd here's the internal Chrome task manager (which is great!) showing what's really happening:Ĭertainly the memory used by my growing collection of Chrome extensions adds up. (work email), Gmail (home email),, ,, ,.I (this just happened to be) had these tabs open: I have IE, Chrome, and Firefox pinned in my Taskbar and usually work in Chrome. I usually have Visual Studio open, a browser, and a few other apps. I'm testing a 4GB Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 this week and I'm finding I'm running right up against the 4 gigs of RAM in my daily work.
