Speed is hardly ever an issue for most users around here, people who do video editing notwithstanding. Buying more hardware than is needed is a common mistake, such as 16 Gbytes of memory instead of 4 or 8 GBytes. People who need a lot of memory know they need a lot of memory, everyone else doesn't. Paying for more internet bandwidth than they need is another mistake. Remember folks, any advice you get on this forum is worth exactly what you paid for it ;-)

That, and the reason that MOST people overspend by over 100% than what they need to on a system. You can get a GREAT laptop for $400 +/-. Max it out at 16GB of memory for another $50.00 and an SSD for another $200...done. So, for about $650.00 you get an awesome system MUCH faster than most new $1000+ retail systems. Then, you get Office 365 for $10 a month that includes all the online storage you will ever need as well as Office.

The "computer guys" will claim otherwise...but, most have NO IDEA what they are talking about (the same people get a Z06 and think because they have a car they can drive fast (safely))...pathetic really.
