View allOk technically the weight is increased. But unless you have muscle issues, you will never notice it.
This listing says 16GB so it should have 16GB.
8GB should still be fine depending on the actual content.
I've had a single tab (http://priceless.com) take up a whopping 2.5GB.
But if she was a killer, changing might be a bad idea....
16GB of RAM will easily do that.
You could handle upwards of 500 with 16GB, depending on a few factors.
Oh it does have a DVD drive. That's not really common nowadays.
Also what's a CD lol.
Honestly... Ethernet isn't really used that often by most people since they want the convenience of Wifi.
But for me personally I HATE wifi. It's notoriously unreliable, speeds are questionable, and hard to connect to since I have a long password.
Ethernet is literally plug and play. Plus it works outside of the OS.
For the regular joe, they won't even notice.
But for someone that uses it regularly, it's anger inducing considering how much it would cost to put the better thing in.
Based on your use case and specs, I think it'll be fine for you.
However, you might be out of luck since this looks like it's web only and it's out of stock.
Usually for items that are in the warehouse, it says so, but that notice is missing in this case.
Call them first with the SKU to see if they have it, but I suspect they won't.
Jokes aside, if this laptop can handle my 50 tabs open at one time, and let me play plants vs zombies from CD, and let me burn music CDs for the elderly set, then I think I'm ok with it. I won't be doing a lot of transfering except possibly putting music files on the laptop from the external drives that contain all the mp3s. So if they transfer slow... oh well. Unless some better deal comes up I will have to stick to this one. I pick it up today from the warehouse.
But literally a dollar (if that)? That makes me angry.
And no, it's soldered to the board.
You might be able to if you're EXTREMELY good at soldering but even then we're talking about soldering things the width of a human hair.
Side note: I'm angry the other way too. There's a company called "Killer" that also makes ethernet (and wifi).
They're a "premium" company selling snake oil. Sadly my G7 comes with a Killer and I'm also bitter about it.
I want my damn Intel.
My wifi is also Killer, but at least that's easily changeable.
I doubt it'll make a difference but the more people that won't buy based on 10/100 the more likely they'll leave gigabit in.
The reason I'm so angry is that it's literally a matter of a dollar.
A Realtek 10/100 is about $1. A Realtek Gigabit is around $2.
It's literally ridiculous in this day and age to not use Gigabit when it's a matter of a dollar.

Top link (despite some entries saying Fast Ethernet) is Gigabit
The bottom link is Fast Ethernet (10/100)
-Dell
The Inspiron 14 also has it. I literally didn't pull the trigger because of it.
Bet.

Where do I collect?
Gigabit is literally 10x faster.
For the regular user that only uses Wifi, this isn't as important any more.
But for someone like me that 100% prefers Ethernet over Wifi, this is actually slower than Wifi.
10/100 (or 100 since no one uses 10) is roughly 10megabytes/second transfer.
Gigabit is 100megabytes/second transfer.
As a benchmark, USB2 is about 20megabytes/s. Your average faster internet is also 100megabits or 10megabytes/s.
So if I'm (for example) restoring a backup over network, I'm 10x slower than I should be. Something that should take 5 minutes is going to literally take 50 minutes.
In this day and age where the upgrade to gigabit would add at most a couple bucks it's a ridiculous thing to actually put in 10/100.
-If you bought the Inspiron 14 5000 or something similar on Dell.ca with the Visa giftcard promotion and you stacked eBates/UniDays/Welcome e-mail, you could use the money saved to buy an additional SSD + a stick of RAM, and the price would be about the same.
-This thing is a bit heavy and it has a DVD Drive which the vast majority of people won't use.
-Ryzen 2700U has better gaming performance, but the platform has been hit-and-miss with drivers and power management.
Again, good deal, just make sure it's what you want.
The ethernet is way more useful ...
Compared to that dvd/cd tray.
It's for the wife and she doesn't game, and won't use it for anything but online courses for work and photos/watching netflix. Great price for a device with a 1920x1080 screen and 8GB of RAM. Hard to go wrong for $400.
Thanks OP!
But ya I agree with you, this laptop might be able to. Play games like overwatch at like low settings and 720p resolution (to get a constant frame rate and not suffer dips during game play)
Double ram and ssd space for this older model if that means more to you.
