laptop storage

[elderado]

I got my daughter a lap top for christmas, it states it has 2 Gb memory, dual proceser and 111gb of memory on the c drive, i have been told this is not much storage, does anyone know if its alot or not???all she does is homework on it surf the net, msn and downloads her photos on it. I am a bit worried she has not got enough memory now...

111GB is enough for that, don't worry :)

2 GB of ram is also enough for someone just doing homework, surfing the internet etc...

I have over 2048 GB on my pc, but I have over 800 films and 12,000 songs so that shows a little. Don't worry 100+GB is ok for your daughter :)

My first laptop had a 4Gb hard drive so a that time 111Gb would have seemed massive !!!

If its just for general usage such as email, internet, perhaps schoolwork/uni assignments then 2GB should still be enough but ideally 4GB has become a comfortable norm these days (providing her model of laptop can take that much RAM of course).

Here's a rundown of how much RAM a laptop should contain based on various usage patterns:

111GB on C:\ drive suggests she has a 120GB hard drive that once formated yields 111GB of free space.
