Upgrade your laptop

It's coming up to Christmas and you need a new laptop - great!
It's coming up to Christmas and there's a global recession just around the corner - not so great!
There are plenty of ways you can lick that laptop into shape and have an upgrade that can take you through the next 12 months no sweat!
Here are the steps to take:
Think about asking for some laptop memory for Christmas
Maybe upgrade to VISTA if you feel brave
Ask someone to stick a bigger hard-drive in your stocking!
In my experience, laptop hard-drives need replacing every couple of years, and it would make sense while you have the precision screwdrivers out, to add a little memory in there too...
