[Tom Walsh]

Larry what do you recommend for RAM today.  I used to consider 8 GB as a bare minimum but not any more.

The cpu is lousy, not enough ram, very under powered. Not even worth the $99. Buyer beware.

Microcenter has a $99 Black Friday deal on a entry level laptop.  When I checked it this morning (~1030A on Friday) there were more than 25 available at the Cambridge store.  I do not have any experience with this specific model but based on the stats it should be sufficient for logging and very likely digital modes.
