    You won't need 8gb of RAM, trust me.. 4gb is plenty but do what you will.

    Has plenty of space, you probably won't even use half of it depending on how much you download.

    Processor is very good.

    Screen size is not very large but again, it's a laptop so it shouldn't be expected to be much larger.

    If battery life actually lasts that long, that's good, most claims of battery life are inaccurate and are claimed upon the laptops lowest power using state.

    A memory card reader is handy, most laptops in households today don't have one(although modern laptops have been made with them lately) and it is needed to buy an extension USB thing to allow it.


    Overall, it's a great laptop, not the best.

    The reason I am going to put the full 8GB of ram into it is because the last laptop I had always froze up and shit and I could not put anymore then 4gb in it. Also it was only vista basic, now for W7 64xbit I want max performance so it wont ever Freeze up on me or load slow. =]

    Well do what you will, it was probably Vista that did that to you. With Windows 7, it should run faster.

    I would at least try it out for a couple months, and if it runs slow, then I would recommend adding more RAM.

    What do you mean when you say you're going to "run everything on it"? Are you planning on gaming or... what?

    I'm sure he means like the latest games and software(meaning he'll need an up to date graphics card/video card) and plenty of space.

    Correct, but the only games would probably be SC2/Halo/or some other RPG like r-s

    Fair enough.

    This laptop is good, but don't expect it to be able to run the latest games at high quality.
