    Hello.
    I'm currently about to buy this laptop - Amazon.com: Acer AS5253-BZ602 15.6-Inch Laptop: Computer & Accessories

    I wish to chuck more ram in it either another 2gb stick or a 4gb stick, I'm not that knowledgeable in laptops and not sure about compatibilty so could someone link me some cheap ram to put in and let me know if it's worth putting 4 in or just 2.

    I also need a power supply for australia.

    Preferably off amazon so I can order it all together.

    Thanks

    There's no way you could spring for a slightly more expensive laptop that comes with 4GB of RAM?

    I've had a look and this seems best for value, installing the ram is, easy just not sure which ram I need.

    Would it be applicable just to get a power converter for the power cord? And is there a certain type I need for this laptop?
