| 1368367 | 2014-02-21 19:29:00 | I am helping a friend choose a new Laptop. She just wants to surf the net. So she does not need a big hard drive or powerful graphics or gaming CPU. Most machines seem to come with 4 gig or Ram. Is this enough to run W 8.1 satisfactorily or is it the bare minimum that they can get away with ? |

| 1368370 | 2014-02-21 20:50:00 | Yea, no need to worry about the current minimum specs any more for this type of usage. | linw (53) | ||
| 1368371 | 2014-02-21 22:30:00 | Yes she just wants to surf the net and do some online shopping. | Digby (677) | ||
| 1368372 | 2014-02-21 23:39:00 | Yes she just wants to surf the net and do some online shopping. 4GB is absolutely fine for that. Has she thought about buying a tablet? My girlfriend does all her supermarket shopping and clothes buying online on our iPad. |
