"This little computer is good if you stick to whats already built into the lap top but as soon as you go onto the internet thats when the problems begin.There just is"nt no memory on it,it just keeps telling you to borrow storage from else where in the computer.We bought additional 4Gb memory sticks which have done nothing.We have been told to get enough memory to play games (which is what my daughters wanted)we would have to purchase a hard drive..Not happy,wish we had bought a note book instead!" -- Adrian C
