My laptop has been running super slow lately. I think it’s about time for me to buy memory. I love how convenient a laptop is. I throw it in my oversized purse and carry it everywhere with me! I wish they would last as long as a desktop. Since laptops are so small you don’t have as much memory as a desktop because they try to make everything so compact. That’s my only complaint. I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep the same laptop for more than 2-3 years. Buying memory definitely does help the laptop last a little longer but laptops aren’t lifetime purchases.
