My laptop has 8gb of ram and when idle, uses around 4.7-5gb (or60%) of it. Is this normal? If it isn't, how do I get it down to the 'normal' levels? This is a new laptop as well, so I don't have much installed on it.
disclaimer: this is just a test post/example post
I still haven't quite figured out how this works but here is a comment from a completely unrelated instance!
