Good evening,
I I'm not really savvy with computers. I am planning on buying a laptop with a spec of 2g and HDD of 160. The laptop will be used for every day stuffs ( no gaming/coding). My question is, can this laptop serve for every day purposes and can it be upgradable in future.
Please advise

the model is important.

check your laptop specs, the maximum upgrade allowed for ram will be included.

post picture of the laptop. check the Intel processor, a dual core or quad core laptop should be able to take upto 16gb ram... and 1tb.

Yes, very nice laptop. this laptop can do everything a normal laptop can do and can be upgraded to 8gb ram and 1terabyte hdd.

Just noticed it is an AMD not Intel. Should I be worried? I guess I will just up my budget and go for something better

Thanks

your laptop supports a maximum ram upgrade of 4 gig. so just get one more 2gig ram and fill up the other slot. but for better performance, use a 2gig ram with the same speed as the one you have there already. E.g if you have a 667mhz 2gig ram already installed, u should get an exact spec of ram. the kind of RAM that fits into your board is the PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM Memory. hope this helps.

it does not matter. Lenovo build very strong laptops. I actually prefer amd to Intel as amd laptops give the best display quality and can handle graphics better. This particular laptop can even handle coding and lite gaming. Even photoshop and autocad.

if the OS is 64bit, it can take 8gb ram perfectly.

I bought this very laptop here on nairaland for a female friend. The laptop is currently working perfectly with 8gb ram and 64bit Windows 8.1 pro
