tell her it's a waste of money, then buy her a lenovo
The averages consumer goes for looks dont care or understands whats under the hood and companies know this, why do you think you see all the sketch designs and stuff on them anymore. Just get what your wife likes and in 1 or 2 years down the road just say I told you so.
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.
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.
