    hi folks

    looking at buying a new laptop. i heard that you need 4gb to run windows 7 fastly?? looking for around a 15 inch screen, for college work, and browsing. any recommendations??

    so basically a good laptop, which is sustaianable, battery life not too important, but with a good run speed.

    Forget about people who tell you that you NEED 4GB of RAM to run windows 7, it will run fine on half that. Once it's got 2GB it'll be fine. What budget?

    some people have run windows 7 on 512MB

    what sort of college work , arts , engineering , computing - some courses need more umph than others

    if you only want word processing anything will do


    BTW if you want to play games then they will be the stuff that determines what performanc you need
