EVE-NG labbing question

Hi all - I'm currently running a small topology of 3 vSRXs in EVE-NG and it feels like this is about the limit my laptop can take (windows 10 i5 dual core 16GB RAM). I'm wondering if maybe I've got my EVE appliance set up all wrong in VM ware workstations

I've got 4GB allocated to the appliance so that that I have 4GB for each node. Is this the right way to be doing it or should I be instead allocating all my RAM up front to cover the appliance and the nodes?

I plan to buy a new laptop later in the year so for now this is only to keep me going till I pass JNCIA.

Thanks

Keep saving your money and buy a beefy server or workstation. A laptop can only do so much. Eve-ng needs more power than a laptop can provide you.

I agree it's better to get up beefed up work station where you can VPN into your network and have access to your lab from wherever with whatever even on your phone 📱
