[beth]

Lol looks like everyone double posted by accident... stupid forum! xD

Well it's a not bad laptop and would get the job done. I've seen a lot better though...

Obviously you'll be able to access habbo and habbox... why wouldn't you be able to? :S lol

[Caution]

it'll be very slow.
crap memory
of course you'd be able to acces hxf & hx. :S

[indian8132]

How slow :(

And can you get like, a memory upgrade for it?

[Caution]

well, that has 265mb RAM. that's like msn + habbo = crash.

well, it was with mine.

and yeah you can get a RAM upgrade.

if you download a lot of things or have loads of files then it wnt be good as it only has 40gb hardrive.

[indian8132]

what i would like to do is have msn, habbo, some files, no games, youtube, habbox forum, ebay

is that ok

not all running at once though, maybe habbo and youtube once, msn another etc

Edit - If I got a memory upgrade, would it run faster

I have 256MB ram, i have MSN, Habbo other firefox windows open and itunes and its fineee.

oh cool, so i know it can open some programmes at once, but what i want to do is habbo, msn, ebay, habboxforum, youtube etc and will it crash if i have a few of them on at once? i dont download things, but i do have a few files for school etc

[hadouken!]

Yeah, it was annoying. Just say yeah.

[font]

It's not very good. The RAM is rubbish, I have about 900MB RAM, and that's not great!

The HDD isn't much, 40GB, mine's 103GB and I've used 30GB.

Get it if you wish.

[Caution]

not good specs.

srsly. :|

mine could barely even go on habbo without crashing. =/

[indian8132]

Thats the only one the insurance is offering, so I cant really be picky now..

So your saying if I go on Habbo it will crash :S

[Caution]

on mine it did. but i had loads of files ect, which probably added to it being slowed down.

[dirrty]

thats rubbish tbh. but i guess thats what you have to get if you dont wanna pay extra for another laptop.

[indian8132]

thats rubbish tbh. but i guess thats what you have to get if you dont wanna pay extra for another laptop.

actually with insurance i think you have to pay the first £100 or something :S

but i will use it for files and habbo and possibly msn, and the computer for other things :)

i never did. they told me to look on comet, currys etc. for a laptop which i wanted and they would tell me how much extra i would have to pay. otherwise they gave me a laptop with no extra cost. the laptop they chose was 3x better than my old laptop and i didnt pay anything extra.

but thats with my insurance company and i guess all are different. well mine and yours anywayz.

i think our insurance is Norwich Union, is it the same as yours?

[hobo]

it's crap.

[indian8132]

it's crap.

Fair enough, I dont want to use it for downloading, games etc, I just want it for Habbo and Habboxforum and saving some files, is that ok?

[hobo]

well ya it'll do that but the internet on it'll probably be pretty slow.

[benjamin]

Thats the only one the insurance is offering, so I cant really be picky now..

So your saying if I go on Habbo it will crash :S
If it's the only one they're offering, why ask people? You're only going to get this one so you may aswell wait and see.

[dirrty]

mine is domestic & general. i got it through comet.

[indian8132]

I know its the only one but im wondering if its good or not

[paws]

It's got some crap specs.

[indian8132]

Can someone tell me whats so bad about it apart from space?

[font]

The RAM. The more RAM the better, if you have lots of RAM you can have may programs open, and they'll be fast, with a low amount of RAM you can't have too many programs open and they might be slow.

Right so if it had better RAM it would be a good laptop, and how much is a RAM upgrade or is there such thing

[DiscoPat]

Its bad imo

[indian8132]

but if i got a ram upgrade if theres such thing, would it be good and how much would it be

[Ashhizzle]

I'd buy my own tbh

[indian8132]

I'd buy my own tbh
you would buy your own what

[paws]

you would buy your own what

Just get insurance money then purchase your own?

[Metric.]

50 pounds more http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/519892

i'd pay the 50 pounds myself to get a better laptop..

[Ashhizzle]

you would buy your own what
Laptop you'd get better quality if you hunted for your own xo

[Metric.]

the insurance company doesn't give you anything you want, they would have put a $$ value on your laptop and now they are trying to settle with you. what specs were your old laptop?

[indian8132]

The insurance are offering only this laptop, and we have to pay £100 aswell for some reason, but they didnt say anything about giving us the money and I wish I known I could have done that earlier but we accepted it yesterday and they delivering it on Tuesday, but can I get a ram upgrade and how much would that be, and would it make it better

[Metric.]

if you accept money it'll less than the laptop's value.

[indian8132]

+Rep to whoever answers the fundimental question -

If I get a RAM upgrade, will it be good again, and how much would it cost approx.

[Agent 47]

almost all RAM is different, and usually quite expensive depending where you buy it from. I think the only way to find out what RAM the laptop has is by opening it up, using The Crucial Memory Advisor Tool, or using a program like CPU-Z.

I think the laptop will run fine for a while until you need a RAM upgrade. My old desktop runs on 256 Ram and it's fine, I can even play games on it.

+Rep, and when would I need an upgrade? All I do is use Habbo, habboxforum, ebay, youtube, msn (not all at once) and have a few files

[exploit]

its kk. i seen better tho.

[Eamonn]

That laptop sucks, 256mb RAM and 40GB HD, no thanks.

Ok Eamon, whatever you say, there are some people who like in including me and for the things im going to do it is fine for me, I dont listen to Music or download or play games on the PC, so it should be fine.

[cocaine]

its crap.

[indian8132]

Look instead of saying things like

Its crap, or
Its good.

Please say WHY it is bad or good, and will someone tell me If I get a RAM upgrade will it be better, +REP TO FIRST WHO SAYS WHETHER IT BE BETTER IF I GET RAM UPGRADE OR NOT.

It's crap cos it has crap specs. Yeah, if you get a RAM upgrade it'll be quicker/faster.

Cool, +Rep, so what I will do is get a RAM upgrade (mum knows someone whos a technician, she just told me so maybe it will be free:)) and it will be a better laptop
