I disagree: The majority of people do not care about specs, they care about features, colors, design and the only spec which they do care about is the amount of megapixels of the camera. The few people who do research before buying care for processors, RAM, USB ports etc.are the minority.(I bet...

Re: Windows 10 update not giving me an option to update No it doesn.t if you choose the upgrade path to Win10. After downloading the tool and running it, you have 2 options: 1. Upgrade your current system --> This is the option you need in order to retain all your data AND make sure Win10 is...
