So guys, im planning to buy a laptop. I saw a laptop within my budget, with okish specs, except ... It says 2gb ram. However after searching it's name online, it says it has 8gb ram, so MAYBE the 2gb is a mistake (nvida dedicated 2gb) and now i cant decide if i should get it. (If it does have 2gb, i cant return it saying it has wrong specs, cuz it's correct) So have any of you seen an i7 with only 2gb ram? I tried searching and couldn't find any.
rams are pretty cheap quite honestly I mean even if it is 2gb, I think you can just buy an external ram I am not an expert, but you can google the prices and see for yourself You can also call the store you are buying this from and request clarification
probably the graphic card and just ask the shopkeeper~ and yeah. You should know the diff between vram and ram
These days, vram and ram tend to use the exact same technology standard. It's just that they have different form factors and are placed in different spots. It's true that they different for all intents and purposes, but it's not because of the underlying technology.
Thats what im thinking too, but what if i do buy it... And it's 2gb I did, they said they cant... Which makes it suspicious
Probably the 2gb ram that you are talking about is the vram of the laptop Probably it's the GeForce 940M 2Gb
to be honest, if u want buy laptop u might want to consult with the store and say '"i have budget $*** what the best laptop can i buy ?" the store probably know better than you, i mean he work there , right ?
Can you mention the product brand and type? Current lineup of laptops usually offers 4GB RAM as the minimum amount, except for few netbooks (and that i7 is surely not one). Big chance that what you see is its VRAM. Besides, even if it was indeed the RAM, you can easily upgrade it cheaply.
Maybe its VGA 2 GB like this specs: Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ Processor (6M Cache, 2.80 GHz up to 3.80 GHz) ,16GB DDR3 (2 x 8 GB),512GB SSD,DVD RW, Fixed,Raid Not Enabled,NVIDIA Quadro K1100M 2GB,15.6FHD WWAN,Intel 7260AGN 2x2 + BT,WWAN upgradable, ,Y-SCR,Y-FPR,Y-TPM,720p HD Camera,9 cell ,170W_AC2_UK,KYB Arabic w/Num Pad,Windows 7 Professioanl 64 bit in Windows 8.1 Professionl 64 bit Sometimes the salesman is new in that kind of work that 's why mistakes will be made.
What the hell? Thats like having a racing bike but instead of giving you a gas pedal, they give you manual bycicle pedal......
