    I am a bit confused by the online order... how come I cannot select 2 X 4G RAM? I think the Dell V131 should has TWO RAM slots....

    I use about half of your disabled service and since I seldom boot(thus boot time doesn't really matter much, say 10s more each month), they are just there sitting in the background taking tiny bit of resources(memory) which I don't care.

    Then the other half you don't need thus you have the option to disable them which will make your machine faster, that bit more stable and last longer between re-boots.

    "not sure why you want to turn off all these features but each of their own."

    I'm providing options to people that would like their machine to work faster than what Dell/MS provides. I've been doing this for years and once people get their machines back.... they're happy.

    Anyway I'll be clean installing with the SSD tomorrow so please feel free to skip my post.

    I find it weird that there are so many non-english reviews and so few english ones.
