new laptop

[Christmas]

lol I have helped picked out 3 laptops for people in the past 6 months. And most didnt understand what ram was. Surprisingly majority of people 30 and older think speed has to do with hard drive space. And anymore with applications I wouldn't go no less then a Dual core processor but i dont expect many people to under stand terms of a processor. But i do believe people try to make everything more personalized now, everything from cars, phones,mp3 players and PCs.

And why look for HDD and RAM? Those are the easiest to upgrade or replace.

With a laptop?

I look for those two because I am planning on using programs that will eat up a lot of space and use a fuck-ton of RAM (8 gigs for the new REVIT program).

Gaming is a secondary addition, which is why I don't really worry too much about the graphics card. My Dell is pretty standard when it comes to that.

The only things on a laptop that is easy to upgrade is the HDD, and the battery, and even then, the HDD isnt exactly easy to get to depending on what laptop it is you have.

Ram on a laptop XD like most things, they are soldered on.

yeah laptop ram is super easy to buy, and they only get cheaper over the years. My old Toshiba Core Solo 1.8ghz processor laptop i boought over 4 years ago i maxed out ram to 4 gigs for like 30 bucks. a year after a bought it. And if I really have to have extra storage space thats what an external HDD is for.

Most laptops aren't like that if I'm not mistaken.

When did they start switching it then? I worked on several laptops back at tech school from 2006 to late 2008. and almost all had the little door on the bottom and you just opened it up and pulled it it out and swapped it, with a compatible ram just like a desktop.

This was how simple it was.
