I am looking to order a small notebook for easy carrying around. I wanted to order one today (Black Friday) but am not sure if "upping" the specs is worth it on such a little computer. I will list my questions in order and if I could get some help before I order I would really appreciate it. :beer:
1. The model I am looking to order is a HP Pavilion dm1z-4300 Notebook PC... Does anyone have experience with them? http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/B6E68AV;pgid=c7twGfjc0ptSRpIq7ZUcoGXQ0000odMv4P0I;sid=vLpMnTdn-caolWfI3a4XCe5otmHBNj28MREdc6t7tmHBNvEWMY8unOUc?HP-Pavilion-dm1z-4300-Notebook-PC
2. Switching from AMD Dual-Core Processor E1-1200 + AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7300 Series Discrete-Class Graphics Card to AMD Dual-Core Processor E2-1800 + AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7300 Series Discrete-Class Graphics Card is a $25.00 upcharge... Is that graphics card worth the $25.00 or should I just stay with what it comes with?
3. What RAM should I order? The options are 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB? 6GB is $50.00 more and 8GB is $100.00 more, is it worth it?
4. I can go from 320GB 5400rpm HS to a 500GB 5400 RPM for $40.00 more or a 500GB 7200RPM for $50.00 more... Is the RPM speed worth the extra price for the same 500GB memory?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate and and all help! :beer::rockon:
