All 3 laptop using i5,MX150...(i only play DOTA 2)

Question:
1) How much ram do i really?....i know 4GB is out of question...8 might be okay for now but im probably gonna use the laptop for 5-6 years...( im still using my current laptop from 2012,8GB RAM)...,16 GB seems too much...I like to open many tab using browser and just left it there even while gaming.
2) 128 or 256 SSD? Seems all these laptop come with 1TB hard drive plus i also have 2TB external drive...If possible i want OS,DOTA2, and a few engineering software on SSD...
3) Between the hp and asus..,which has overall better quality and thermal?

PS:I dont do any photo/video editing work...,I dont mind about battery life and weight either...,Budget 3.5k max...Sorry for the long post...,Really need your opinion...Thanks in advance...

Yes..,I want a 15 inch laptop...,budget max 3.5k with upgraded ssd+ram...,Can you recommend other option with i5 and MX 150?...,prefer thin bezel too...

Heyyy guys its me again...I have trouble choosing between these three 3 model..,Regardless of ram,ssd and hdd...,these 3 have similar specs, processor and gpu...Between these three..,which might possibly be the overall winner?

Hello guys...,can anyone help me to choose the winner between these 2 laptop...

HP Pavilion 15-cs1026TX or Acer Aspire 5 A515-52G-547K

Both are using i5-8265U and NVD MX150 2GB DDR5...,ram and ssd i will upgrade myself.

Which one have better

1)Build quality
2)Performance/Cooling
3)Display
4)Battery life

Budget including upgrades = 3k.., Usage=movies,dota2,some engineering software, weight and battery life dont mind...Display has to be 15 inch thin bezel...,which one is better between those two above?

Gaming laptop 3k i think can only get acer nitro 5...,i dont like the red and black colour...,legion y530 above budget...my max including total ram 8gb and ssd 256 is 3k only...

Alright will check it out...,anyway between the Acer aspire 5 and HP pavilion 15, which one would u say better?
