    for what your after it seems ok. tbh, the ram is wasted on the cpu.
    Whats your budget? considered something thats not a dell?

    I'll consider anything(im an anti dell person myself but know nowhere else to get a cheap laptop), tis mainly for use around the house, slobbing in bed n the likes.
