...is enough, although some, and probably most people, as I know I would defiantly want more ram in my laptop than this one has. However there is an upside, if this 1 gb isn’t enough for you, and it probably wont be then you can get it upgraded to a maximum of 2 gb of ram, this would dramatically increase the speed and performance of the laptop, well it should double the performance of the laptop so its something a lot of people should think ...

Advantages: Very light, very fast, very good spec for the money
Disadvantages: Quite costly, heavy power adapter

Advantages: Features, size and design
Disadvantages: Not good enough for gaming

I was bored of looking at the generic black or grey and thought the white anti-scratch surface was ideal. The laptop is also quite light and the absense of a locking clip meant there was less ...
...more than my money's worth! HP also frequently offer discounts so it's always worth checking to see what deals are to be had. As well as the remote control that is stored away when not in use, another of my favourite features is the fingerprint reader. When you use the internet on a frequent basis, remembering usernames and passwords can be frustrating. For anyone who hops from website to website, I'd highly recommend this feature. Thankfully I ...
