“HDMI output is a positive for this laptop but battery life is low and 6 cell option is needed”

This is a great brand but this Laptop is not a great idea.
Bad power and like the person said: no option to upgrade RAM.

I’m considering buying one, but off the record, even though there is no option to upgrade the RAM from 1Gb from Dell, it *can* be upgraded to 2Gb. If you call Dell, they will say it only supports 1Gb but they lie. You can buy the 2Gb memory chip from off the web, open it up and upgrade it yourself, but Dell will not support it.
