  I bought this a9 model when it came out. It’s brutally slow. Would not recommend.

      Lol an N2940? Even the most basic ones come with an N3050/3060 and most newer basic ones come with a N4000 or Pentium.

      That's a seriously old processor.

        Those N3050/3060 is half performance of N2940 while N4000 is only around 80% of N2940. I was comparing something closer in performance. Hope you read the Intel road map before putting up something, anyway have a nice day.

        @dlovep: I don't keep up with the road map of celerons lol as far as I'm concerned they're all bad.

        @pennypincher98: Depends on purpose mate, not all i7/Xeon are good too, somehow pick the right tool for the right job. Celeron will be great choice for younger kid as saving money and energy bill also teach them "patience" that alone is worth more than the laptop itself.

        @dlovep: I've had a celeron. I'll never put anyone through the pain it brings voluntarily.
        Then again, might be good to test your partner on to see their true colours.

  I'd definitely recommend buying a refurb over this.

  Please don't do this to yourself.
  While it seems a good price for a new machine don't get fooled into thinking that it will be good.

  add another 4gb ram (assume got additional slot avail)

  turn off virtual memory file paging

  you're good to go

  • 

    pennypincher98 on 13/08/2018 - 16:39

    add another 4gb ram

    That's the thing. Everything in these cheap machines are soldered to the motherboard.
    Nothing is replaceable/upgradable.

        Why don't you have a picture or link that actually shows what the laptop is? I'm happy to stand corrected, but can't tell what this laptop even is.

        @phunkydude: e-penis definitely sounds interesting lol :P Cheers, I'll have a read of it.
        Seems like the same one though, I'm impressed that this is the first cheap machine capable of upgrades.
        That screen still seriously sucks though.

        @pennypincher98:

        @phunkydude Your links refer to the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 2-in-1 (with a touchscreen), yes HDD and RAM can be upgraded, however the model in this deal is a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 laptop (no touchscreen) where the HDD and RAM are soldered and can not be upgraded.

        @spammenotinoz:
        The service manual linked from this product's page on the DELL web site.
        https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/inspiron-11-3180-laptop_serv…
        Hard drive replacement is applicable only for computers shipped with hard drive and this one does have the fixed eMMC so the hard drive cannot be replaced.
        However it looks like the RAM module is indeed replaceable and therefore can be upgraded.

  perhaps the slower emmc storage is the issue? rather than a proper ssd?

• 

  Pixie13 on 13/08/2018 - 16:51

  I have the Intel pentium version of this, upgraded SSD and it is fine for me.

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 13/08/2018 - 17:16

    You don't have have this model, as the eMMC is soldered to the board, and their is no internal bay or port for an SSD.

  eMMC is far too slow for day to day use. Take a slower CPU over eMMC anyday.
  Get the SSD model, where the SSD and RAM can be upgraded.

  One aspect of soldered eMMC that's often not considered is anything going wrong with the laptop that prevents it starting also means an inaccessible storage device. Had an unpleasant experience with that recently with a relative whose similar laptop died - I've typically been able to play the hero in that situation, but in this case there was nothing I could do, because I couldn't remove the storage even though it may have been unaffected by the laptop failure.

  Funny thing is this person had been relatively diligent with backups, having File History continuously backing up to USB stick on top of an occasional backup to an external HDD, but we discovered it was several weeks out of date - apparently something had quietly gone wrong with File History.
