OT: Hope you are enjoying your new laptop Gottfried. I managed to get mine set up pretty quickly. $300 bought me an ASUS X555L with a 15.6 " screen, i3 Pentium processor and 4 GB of ram installed. laptopmag.com That was not enough memory to have it run effectively for me. I upgraded with another 8 GB of memory. I noticed as I was shopping that it has become more difficult to find a new laptop in which memory can easily be added to anymore. Mine had a slot at least, although the guy at Best Buy had no idea, what the slot was actually for at all. It was the RAM slot. There was a screw over the door to the slot had no actual threads showing. It looked like a plastic peg instead of a screw. I was wondering how to add memory? It just had a little sticker over the screw top. I tried to get the extra ram from Crucial to help out my friends who own MU and those who work there but they did not have what I needed. I bought the 8 GB for $42 from Kingston and now it runs like a champ. Nearly 1000 GB on the hard drive too. Solid state drives are so much cheaper now that I could make this thing positively fly and not be out anymore than $600 total. I could do that and still have around 900 GB of fast storage making the older processor the least of my worries if I had any at all. Plus this laptop is really light. It runs super cool. It will run for much more than 3 hours on the battery. And unlike the heavier Toshiba laptop I am replacing the hinge on the screen is built well enough that it will last when I lift the laptop by it to transport it over the next three years. My last laptop literally came unhinged. Acckkkkk! Anyway, new tech is fun. Setting it up... not so much... but it get easier with practice. Have fun! Surgery in the morning. I'm taking a five day vacation from my actual job so I am pretending I will be just having a great time. RtS
