Does the AVD Ram effects the laptop ram? - android-virtual-device

If I give the AVD emulator an amount of ram, does it affect my laptop?
because as default the AVD gets 2GB of ram and I would like to increase it for a better performance.
any advice about that?

IntelliJ IDEA memory consumption

Planning on getting an 8gb ram laptop, at least 256gb ssd, with core i5(at least 8th gen) with financial management, I have seen post of some people saying 8gb ram is not enough to run intelliJ IDEA, some even say 16gb is just manageable and as I only intend to run just the ide before moving to android studio for building apps though I intend to get an android device for emulation alongside the android studio so I dont in any case use the virtual device, what do you guys suggest about getting the 8gb ram laptop, do you guys think the ssd can speed up my compilation without lagging or I should try to get a higher ram. Besides, I have a Lenovo thinkpad X140e mini laptop with 3gb ram, amd A4 series chip, 256gb HDD, and the laptop is so slow as it takes about 2 minutes to compile a simple println statement and after compiling about 5 codes, it might just freeze for more than 6 minutes, need help from experienced users and the time it takes to compile a code in the ide (those with the 8gb ram laptop and ssd)

Android Studio and Emulator not responding

I have an Acer Aspire E5-573 laptop with 4Gb RAM, Windows-10 64 bit operating system. Whenever I start my Android Studio, my laptop stops responding, and I am my program does not run on the emulator. What do you think would be the problem?
You have to increase your RAM atleast 8gb,
alternative way:
Use lower version of android studio because version 4.0 and up has many features like animations etc. don't use AVD Android Virtual Device instead try to use Physical phone as emulator
Its mainly happen when your computers memory (RAM) run out, when there is no sufficient memory(RAM) space left to run your program than your laptop is not responding.
Possible solution
Increase your RAM (memory) to minimum 8 GB and
Include a SSD storage in your laptop

It lags when i am using android studio

my laptop is i7 4510U , 4GB ram , Intel HD graphics 2gb , Nvidia GeForce 840m 4GB
why it's so laggy when Iam using android studio?
Your 4GB of ram is to blame,
to use well Android Studio, you need at least 8GB of RAM (more if intend to use emulators), just note that the GPU have no use here, and even the processor you just need a mid range processor to work well, but when compiling the more powerful processor you have the better.
I also had problems but then i disabled some plugins and tried to build gradle offline, you can find detailed answer here :

Unreal engine - complaints for needing 8 GB of memory even though I have 8GB memory

I have a Mac OS X with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and when I start unreal engine it complaints about Low RAM and asks that for best performance I should have at least 8 GB of RAM.
I'm not sure why is this is case, is it possible that its getting a lower share of RAM or something similar?
The Unreal Editor version is 4.7.5
Edit: The processor is 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, and is 64 bit.
Edit: The graphic processor is Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB.
Why would UE4 not be able to access all of your RAM? I do not consider that case very likely.
Also, I would not worry about the RAM usage of UE4 too much. I do a lot of work with the engine and it rarely uses more than 3GB of RAM. Just make sure that your system as a whole has enough RAM for the running processes to prevent swapping.
Anyway, the bottleneck in your system is probably the graphics processor, so if your engine runs too slowly you should reduce the performance setting inside the engine.

VS2013 is >7GB, can I slim this down?

My development machine has a 128G SSD. I recently upgraded to VS2013 Ultimate, and found that it ate 7.3G of it. In comparison, my VS2010 takes up just over 500M.
I cannot imagine why this is so much larger, and suspect I have a bunch of stuff on here I don't need. Does anyone have any way to characterize where that space is going, and what I might be able to do to get some of it back?
No, you cannot.
Per the Microsoft website, VS 2013 requires 20GB.
Hardware requirements
1.6 GHz or faster processor
1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
20 GB of available hard disk space
5400 RPM hard disk drive
DirectX 9-capable video card that runs at 1024 x 768 or higher
display resolution
I am surprised that you're around 7GB
Maybe you should look at VS2013 Online Advanced, if you're really interested in HD space:
Hardware requirements
1.6 GHz or faster processor
1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)
5 GB of available hard disk space
5400 RPM hard drive
DirectX 9-capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher display
resolution
I Google so that you don't have to™
