Charger (second hand)
Another 2Gb RAM chip (total of 4Gb now)
120 GB SSD
Windows 10 Pro x64

All of the above will cost me less than R2000

Is it worth it to run Windows 10 on 4Gb RAM and 1.6 GHz Celeron Processor?

Should be fine, it will run better than W7 at least because of the added support for memory compression. I think your issues will probably be e.g. YT playback you can't do 1440p.

Tell her you're going to have to put it on your insurance and ask if there's any reason why you shouldn't be giving them the serial number.

Do a HD recovery and see what pops up.
Use it as a streaming device.

Ok, so you go to the cop shop, and lay the laptops down.

What do you say to them to open up a case?

Person: Hello Boss. Are these laptops stolen or not?
Cop: Stolen! We need to keep it as evidence.
Person: Cool stuff, here, take them both and keep them safe.
Cop: Are you still here dude? Lol

Haven't had any discontent from anyone so far referring to them as Boss. It's like China, Man, Dude etc.
Don't think I need a call out on that.

Oh yes you do. Have you ever gone to a police station?

It was a joke damn it. Lighten up a bit.
To answer your question, I refer to all members of public service as Sir or Mam.
Be it Paramedics, Police or other Officials.

The reason for that reply of mine was bcs he was suspicious of believing her original story so I presented an alternative truth. Did you even grasp the context of his post? :rolleyes:

Why would she lie if she bought them at an auction?

Try grasping that, you muppet.

Bought a 20K notebook not to long ago (thread here somewhere). Anyways at has been giving a strange issue where the mouse freezes for a couple of seconds randomly. Dell Remote reinstalled windows and the drivers and the problem still persist. On Thursdays Dell was contacted, the technician came on Friday and replaced the Motherboard and Battery. So will now see how it goes, remote support just need to reinstall the drivers and windows again to make sure everything is good.

I'm also a huge Dell fan, BUT recently there has been some issues, that have pushed some of my big clients back to Hp, even though Hp is vastly overpriced.

Dell notebooks has this new stupid "clip" design on the ethernet port that keeps on breaking. Hp has done the same, but theirs feel sturdier somehow.

Then, according to 2 Dell techs we've had onsite, they are now replacing components on notebooks and desktops with refurbished stuff. This includes MB's...

So who know where this will end up?

In all honesty that's probably the cost of the laptop, is the charger the most expensive part? As you can get 256gb SSDs for R500. Also for something of that spec, put on ubuntu.

We had a Dell stolen a couple weeks back, similar laptop has now appeared at local pawn shop.
It now has a sticker on it with serial no not recognized by Dell 72587679966

How would you even begin to prove it might be our stolen unit?
