If I'd have to choose between a laptop with an i3 processor of 1.9 GHz with 6gb's of ram or a laptop with also an i3 processor with 2,6GHz but only 4gbs of ram. Which would be better to use for studying pharmacy? I'd say the faster cpu because of the faster processing speed? Or has the ram a bigger influence on the laptop. Further on is both laptops' specs the same, only the cpu and ram has a difference.

The laptop with the 1,9GHz is about 100$ or about a R1000 more expensive than the other. Both laptops are from Lenovo

Thank you

Unless your doing gaming or having multiple big/heavy tasks open at the same time running, you won't need the laptop with the extra 2gb of ram. If anything in the future happens, you are able to upgrade the ram for cheap, but you can't upgrade a cpu. Get the one with the better cpu
