Windows 7....Notebook? - Anees - 10-02-2018
SHAHZ I take the graphics is a feature if 7? I've heard that you need 2gb ram as a minimum for running 7, it's likely that I will be getting a a book with 1gb, will it run ok on this?
1Gb will be fine for the basics, just turn off the aero graphics.

have w7 running on 3 machines at home 2 laptops and the main desktop. it has been stable but only issue is some items dont like W7, this is a driver issue but newer items should be OK. eg wireless USB dongles etc.
I have never had any issues with Vista either except when I have not kept it upto date eg after a fresh install i upgrade and install all the service packs straight away.
TBH i prefer vista, but maybe its because i am used to it.
I found it was quicked to do a fesh install of W7 rather than upgede from vista.
if you look there are some very good downloads about!

Just ordered a MSI U130; Atom N450, 1.66ghz, 1gb RAM, 160gb with win 7 - £164 delivered!:thumbup1:......was looking at the samsung notebooks as they are supposed to be quite good, however were more expensive, without win 7, bluetooth & an older processor.

Argos clearance on eBay, it's a refurb but read good reviews from others that had got net/lapbooks from there, comes with 12 month warrenty and 7 day refund if not happy. On the phone at the moment, will put up a link when I get in
