I work for a computer company that uses slow computers in their offices in order to save power. Thus, I bring my laptop everyday and had my folders transfered so I am guessing my work is not saved on the company servers and therefore if my laptop crashes, I am DEEPLY screwed.
Can you please recommend a cost and time effective solution where I can save my data at the end of EACH day to prevent loss of data from crashes and such (Software apps)? There are external drives/DVD-CDs etc but those take way too long and you always need to worry about space.
Additionally, my laptop (although faster than the company's computers) is still pretty freakin slow at times (esp. at startup, and if I have more than maybe 3 word docs and 2 web browsers open, forget it)..I was thinking of adding ram…will it make a big difference? Where can I buy it so that it works well and is cost-effective? I've never installed ram so it might be best to go somewhere where I have physical assistance.
Thx SOOOO MUCH!!
