    8GB DDR3 and a little bit faster dual core CPU.. NOT WORTH IT AT ALL! maybe if the SSD was double the size then yes..! :)

      +1

      Depends, RAM/CPU isn't upgradeable at all - you're stuck with what you've got. And when it's 10% extra speed and 33% more cache, it's a fairly decent bump up in specs on the CPU if you ever do video encoding. 8GB RAM is really useful for some, not for others, so really comes down to usage. Granted, most people would just be better off saving the $250 to put towards the next laptop in 2-3 years

      The SSD is a standard m.2 2280 drive though and you can pick up a 500GB drive for $200 in an ebay sale. So I'm rarely fussed about what kind of drive comes with these laptops, very cheap to upgrade.

  Windows 10 or Windows 8 or 7 and only 4GB RAM, is that really enough? Especially when you don't optimize the operating system and there are 50 / 60 + processes running in the background which i believe has already used 2GB RAM. And once you open a couple tabs of Google Chrome, there won't much left.

    I develop on a win10 vm with 4gb of ram, greanted I don't use chrome, but I run two or three copies of visual studio and edge with 20+ tabs - no issues whatsoever! =)

    For the average user, 4gb is enough; not luxurious, but enough.

  Is this better than the Lenovo E460?

    If touch-screen is not in your requirement list, then Lenovo is way better - configuration-wise.
