Yup, and these ones you can't really upgrade yourself eaither, the components are too tightly woven.
I reckon the bump to 16gb ram is worth it though, I think thats £160 on top if I remember right... you won't get two 8gb chips in there for much more than that.

Not relivent to my interests, but there is no CD/DVD in there either.

I have 16gb ram on my Lenovo, as I run some heavy db software and often have some graphic files for work open at the same time.
I am using my DVD drive tonight for the first time since I got this machine two years ago to watch a box set in my hotel room as all the Uk sites (even the ones I pay for such as Netflix) won't work with an non Uk IP address and Polish Tv is shit. Even if you can understand it, which I can't.

I'd take more ram over a DVD drive despite this.

Is the DB local? Normally the work is done on the server, but it can still take up a lot locally.
Streaming is the future, but it is relient on a connection. Just so you know, iPlayer on iPad can download shows for offline viewing; not sure of the others. Or there is iTunes too. if you ain't bothered about legalities, then I can show you how to download stuff, it's quite a simple process.

db is local.
Didn't know I could watch iPlayer content offline. Am back here in a couple of weeks so have got time to investigate. Ta.

Edit: couldn't care less about legality. I used to use letmewatchthis.com but it has gone to shit.
