For average usage (internet surfing, document writing, downloading content, etc....NOT GAMING) is 4GB RAM enough.....or is 6GB recommended?

4gb is more than enough for average usage.
The Vostro 3560 with a 1080p screen is a very hot deal. The cheapest 1080p laptop I've seen was about $700-750, probably the same Dell. The GPU is a nice bonus but is just average.
I do think the trend is towards better screens. There will always be a better deal (in a few months) if you wait, if you don't want a big clunky Dell.
That said, I'm pretty tempted by this. Would be harder if I actually had any money.Last edited by obn3g0n; Dec 26th, 2012 at 03:47 PM.

Dec 26th, 2012 04:03 PM #20I would think 4GB is enough, and if you want more in the future, it's really easy to upgrade yourself + costs less if you buy your own 2x4GB when they're on sale. Originally Posted by Revblonde

What's the backlit english international keyboard?? I'd like to get the backlit, but if it's not the same as the US english keyboard (ie: bilingual keyboard), then I'd have to pass :P
Anyone knows? Reply With Quote

I sometimes edit videos or watch HD movies on my computer. Is i5 good for that or do I need to get an i7 (with quad cores)?

Dec 26th, 2012 06:21 PM #26Youre fine, my brother in law edits/edited many videos with his old i5 first gen core, at like 2ghz, an i3 or new i5s are totally fine for that. We tend to use sony vegas. Originally Posted by aras

Dec 26th, 2012 06:32 PM #28Dude you dont need it, its a laptop, mine and my brother-in-law is fine editing AVCHD, the worst kind to edit with my i7-2nd gen and his i5-first gen (thinkpad and an msi consumer model), Originally Posted by siennaLe2008
I guess this is a i5 third gen, if you really want to get a few extra frames a sec rendering, or previewing (maybe only a few %) go with the i7.
If hes that serious in editing hell buy a desktop, raid 2 ssds, and use a gtx 680 cuda or 7970 using opencl_______________

Can the vostro 3650 be upgraded to 16GB ram?
Dell states 8GB is the max but with an Ivy bridge i5, I am wondering if 16GB is possible...
Some RAM sites list a 16GB upgrade, some don't...
Anyone knows? Reply With Quote
