I'm a college student and I want to buy a laptop simply for Microsoft Office aswell as Popcorn time just to watch movies in my freetime. I was just wondering is 2GB of ram powerful enough to efficiently satisfy those needs at a high speed. I was leaning towards a 2GB of ram HP laptop, whats the better move here guys, 2GB or 4GB of ram?

I'd recommend 4GB but I'm a power junkie, I'd rather have 12 honestly, I'm upgrading mine soon to 12 so yea lol, that's the highest my laptop will allow. I miss my old computer, I ran 32GB of RAM in that thing lol

4GB Ram will be better. I would always prefer 8 GB no matter the circumstance but, with what you are needing it for go with 4GB.

4GB if you're only using the laptop as what you stated here. Otherwise use 8GB if you intend to use it for other things too. 2GB will make your system run too slow.

4GB is recommended I feel like 2GB would just make you're laptop really slow. 8GB is even better but not needed for what you will be using it for.
