Laptop using 60% of RAM when idle.

My laptop has 8gb of ram and when idle, uses around 4.7-5gb (or60%) of it. Is this normal? If it isn't, how do I get it down to the 'normal' levels? This is a new laptop as well, so I don't have much installed on it.

This is normal from ram caching. If you get sudden slowdowns and run out of free memory, then you should become concerned.
