It's enough, but u should consider buying 16 GB RAM variant as it will always provide an extra edge....and try to buy Galaxy Book 3....as u will get it just for some more bucks...and try offline samsung store.... u can find much more better deals than official Samsung website..

How can I find the nearest Samsung Store? Yes I know there is a link from which you can locate the Samsung Store but I don't get know whether the laptops are available at that Store or not? How can I know that? I'll appreciate if you help me with it.

U should go and check for all nearby samsung store or shops who deals only in samsung products...u can find it there....there is no such link...
It's just that few months back same thing happened with me...there is a samsung store nearby.... I have visited that store many times previously but didn't know that they also deal with laptops..... when I enquired then they said that they also deal in laptops...

And also they provide very good offers as there are many offers that company provide for offline stores...
Last thing ask them for offers and if they say that offers aren't available, then if u don't have hurry then wait for some time till offers arrives.....
And rest ask them...they will provide all the details

Thank you so much.

Consider this 8GB RAM is DDR4x 4266MHz RAM.

But 16 GB RAM variants will be more beneficial....if u can flex ur budget

[Mohit_Sarsuniya]

No, It will be very difficult to increase my budget.

Oo then try to get Galaxy Book 3......u will get it around 55 or 56 for 8 GB+512 GB variant and approx 4k to 5k extra for 16 GB variant.....
But remember, Galaxy Book 3 will be a better deal than Galaxy Book 2

Nowadays minimum requirement is 16GB RAM. So better choose 16 or above
