first off i am sorry to say that, that laptop wont be able to handle much more then word processing, runescape, and simple and i mean simple games.
-----yes i know this is a lot to read but please read the whole thing-----
(this is a information spec and where to shop at the end of the list.)
reasons:
windows requires a total of 4 gigs of ram to run even in 32 bit operating system, (3.4 gigs useable in 32 bit)
in 64 bit windows you unlock the motherboard to its max amount of ram what ever its max is.
the graphics card is low and i do mean low end onboard motherboard graphics processor unit (gpu for short)
look into the specifications or specs of the laptop in question to see if you can upgrade it.
if at all, hoping that you can take it back or send it back to get a refund i would suggest it.
all future endeavors to buy any technology cellphones, laptops, desktops you name it read and shop for about 2-3 months and ask around in technology places to see what is lasting longer. (educate yourself in what your buying, find out what you really want to do with the technology, the amount of ram, graphics card, hard drive, dvd/blueray drive, you name it) just because it has all the bells an whistles for the shiny and "oooo lights under the keyboard, beats audio" doesn't mean its really worth the price.
check forums for honest responses negative an positive, and weigh your options and learn what is really happening in the technology you are trying to buy.
where to buy a good laptop depends on your location and budget.
simple places to find a great bargain:
1- pawn shops
2- walmart (returns and open box or display modles)
3- newegg.com (returns, open box)
4- black Friday, holidays, tax exempt school times
keep in mind that last months deals are not gonna be around this month but they will always have better offers to empty your wallet the following months. technology is always getting cheaper and simpler to make, making the laptops of 2yrs ago outdated.
in order from the list to find a bargain and reasons:
the reason "pawn shops" is number 1 on this list is because of the economy, and second handed nature of the sales, you can always haggle on the price and you can inspect the technology you are buying. ask about the return policy and see how long the time is before you cant return it for a refund.
walmart being second is because i have had spotty luck with finding a display model or priced down model even open box.
third being newegg because i have bought only parts and upgrade peaces for my main desktops. they do have great open box and factory referbrished laptops for great prices.
and fourth being the time of the year, reason for this is because it affects all places trying to make room for new inventory, and always seeing what they can sell at what prices to test the market and overall sales point.
find what your looking for and see if its really what you need and not just what you want. shop and learn before you buy.
