Finally got some more RAM and extra storage for the girlfriend's laptop. Probably not the best deal in the world if i really hunted around but it's done

I got some second hand at an acceptable price. This laptop doesn't need to be super spec'd out because aparently the battery is beginning to go on it as well

This is a dell so I might be able to find a replacement pretty easily. I'll have a look, thanks

A replacement battery for my MS surface is only $24 but it's a wild process of heating and separating the parts as it's stuck together with that yellow tape rather than simple micro-screws.
