Asus Laptop Critique: Too much Hardware Reserved memory on 8GB system.

System: Windows 10
Model: Asus m515da-382s1t laptop, AMD Ryzen 3 3250u with Radeon Graphics 2600 8GB Ram
Frequency of occurrence: All the time
Additional keywords: issue, problem, review, sucks
========================
Detailed description:
The graphics card reserves 2Gb of RAM for itself making only 6Gb available.
This is way too much because only 10% is used when streaming YouTube and that is what I bought this laptop for. The 2Gb will never be utilized and it is really a waste. A more appropriate default would be 200MB. I really wish I had went for a model with an Intel chip because they do not seem to have this issue.
There is no option to change this anywhere.

@asusHardwareReserved
Confirmed by the tech team, this is AMD’s regulations, VRAM is locked according to AMD’s recommendations. Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.
