What's great about it: Clean simple user interface
What's not so great: Auto update feature is sometimes a bit delayed
I switched to Kaspersky after using Symantec products for many years based on recommendation of Best Buy sales person. Very pleased with the much reduced workload on the processor and leaner memory demands.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Like the touch screen
What's not so great: System 8 tie-ins without Google Chrome is a bit annoying.
Limited memory requires use of external hard drive or memory sticks, but a minor inconvenience compared to lightening speed of processors.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, poor sound quality, A nice compact size, easy to set up, lightning fast
About me... retired, Comfortable with technology

The current RAM is 4GB. Is this the maximum RAM supported or can it be increased (to 8GB for example)?

I was told no, hence my purchase of an external hard drive. Actually I find that I was storing too much stuff on my hard drive without considering the impact on processor speed and memory sticks are so cheap.

What is pre-loaded, windows 8 or 8.1?

8.0 is loaded as of my purchase date. The 8.1 download was time consuming!
