All is well after a memory upgrade

rfc, Newegg

  • Summary: I bought two of these for my kids for Christmas. Not surprisingly, it is frustrating to use with 2Gb ram but I assumed I had to upgrade the memory.
  • Pros: Inexpensive, performs well for web use after memory upgrade.
  • Cons: Frustrating keyboard, memory upgrade necessary and not for the faint of heart.

  • Pros: Thin, light.
  • Cons: Windows 8, I repent so often about not having bought the laptop a couple weeks earlier when it had Windows 7 installed. Windows 8 is for tablets not laptops or desktops.

  • Summary: This is not a desktop replacement by any stretch. It is snappy for light computer work and what majority of users will need it for.
  • Pros: - Thin, light and cheap
  • Cons: - Difficult Hard-Drive and RAM upgrades. You must remove the screws on the bottom and separate the bottom half of case from the keyboard-tray. The hard-drive is easily...
