2GB or 4GB Smartpen?? What's the difference in the GB of memory?

4GB just means that you can go longer without having to download your notes because the pen can store more information. I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the 2GB model except for the memory. You won't have to buy a new one due to loss of memory with either model.

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

I would agree to go for the 4gig, but wait a while because sandisk offers frequent mail in rebates. Including the rebate, I saw this item for 115$, brand new on Buy.com. I was angry because I bought it a few days earlier for 125$. The price changes alot, so be patient and wait for a good deal.

I used 4 GB class 4 and it Works well I havnt try a bigger memory card because I alternate within two memory cards so I can check, save or delete files

Mine came standard with 2GB and these are SODIMM (laptop) memory modules and there are only two slots, this memory is pricey unlike regular laptop memory, keep this in mind because there are plenty of HP refurb DC7800's out there with 4GB and Win7 64 for $140 and up. Or you buy this machine and spend another 100 to get it up to working condition.

Mine came with 2 x 2Gb memories, it has two slots so you may buy a 2 x 4Gb kit and replace the actual memories

Hi, this notebook is very efficient for powerpoint, word, excel and other light documents. These notebooks take 512 MB RAM upgrades. *Apple reports that the maximum memory capacity of this system is 576 MB for the model with 64 MB of onboard memory (M7698LL/A), and 640 MB for the models with 128 MB of onboard memory. This machine will NOT do Youtube just to warn you. But if you need a websurfer and document machine then this ibook will do great. You will want to either plug in an external Hard Drive or USB stick for additional space or just upgrade the hard drive, something that I don't recommend unless you're used to Apple's casings.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

I have one of the first builds off the line which is the 4gB model. As I want to use it as a portable recording machine I needed more space, so I picked up an 8 gB SDHC card fo $40 Can/US. I originally used a 2 gB thumb drive, but that fills up when recording hours of audio at 44 khz/16 bit. Also, I like the card as its like a mini-hardrive - it doesn't stick out of the side like a thumb drive.Not sure how much the 8gB model is compared to the 4Gb.. but with expandable memory so cheap..

you can use the single 8GB stick. As mentioned elsewhere, it will probably run a bit faster with 2 sticks of 4 (as long as you aren't using slower memory).

yes had this question before,,, only an hour,,,,does not matter the size of the card,,,2GB 4Gb 8Gb, , the pen itself will only hold a charge for an hour,,,you can store alot on your card,,in file. for instance 8GB may hold up to several hours recoreded material but in hour increments.

Simple to upgrade 2 Ram slots. I replaced the HDD with a 1TB Hitachi Travelstar (most reliable drive made), purchased the drive on Amazon and an easy Ram upgrade (also purchased on amazon) I run dual boot Linux; Ubuntu 10.10, Linux Mint 14 and Win 7 Premium all 64bit operating systems. All run fine but the Pen is limited to simply emulating a mouse. The Touch screen is electrostatic not finger touch sensitive. On Win 7 however there are drawing apps and math apps that let you draw with the pen. Must look on bottom to release the hidden pen. The release is called the Pen garage.

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

It's one (1) single module of 2GB capacity. If you want 4GB then buy two (2) each.

4gb....Don't get me wrong,its nice but it didn't work (I wasn't able to turn it on) I would still recommend because of its built and the price Hope this helps!

When i bought the memories the cost of 16gb was cheaper than the single memory of 8gb x 2 units. There are not more reasons
