I doubt 16GB is enough RAM for 10. I run 4x low 1x mid and I'm usually running ~14GB usage.

Okay but in which resolution ? If i lower the resolution, cannot be good ?
And if i upgrade to 32gb, can be a good laptop ?

You may not be able to upgrade a laptop to 32GB of RAM. Intel systems require a specific chipset to be compatible with > 16GB ram which also consumes more power, leading laptop manufacturers to shy away from them. With it being a gaming laptop it may support more, make sure you read the fine print before you buy anything.

As far as using lower resolution, I'm not sure, MiRai may know better about that since he's done a lot of testing with multiple clients on hardware.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, and all i can keep repeating is that there's no formula to figure out how many game clients can be run on certain hardware. Unless someone has played on very similar hardware and can give detailed feedback on how it was or is, you're on your own when it comes to "budget" systems and cutting it close to hardware requirements (I use that term loosely), since the idea behind choosing hardware for multiboxing is: the more powerful, the better.

Personally, I would not want to 10-box with 16GB of RAM and 4GB of VRAM, but someone else may say that they were able to 10-box on similar hardware by playing at the lowest resolution, using the lowest in-game settings, and capping their framerate at 30 FPS.

Does that sound playable to you? To me, it doesn't.

I would also caution against seeing a laptop that says "RX 580" or "NVidia 1080" and assuming the performance of that GPU is going to be anywhere close to the performance of a full-up PCI-Express Desktop version of the same graphics card. Laptops usually make use of shared video RAM and or some sort of sharing between the "dedicated GPU" and the processor's on-board graphics adapter. I have a laptop with a dedicated NVidia 970GTX and it is about 40% slower than my Dad's 960 Ti at the same tasks.
