    Au Is this Asus A52F Laptop good enough for multi-tasking fast?

    i am thinking of buying this Asus A52F laptop:

    ASUS A52F-EX1393S Refurbished 15.6" Laptop - Black at cheap prices | Pcworld

    ASUS A52F
    Processor Intel i3-380 Processor (2.53GHz, 3MB Cache memory)

    Size 380 x 35 x 256mm (L x W x D)
    Weight 2.62kg


    I will be using it for:

    - internet surfing - using 6-8 tabs at a time, sometimes on 2 separate g.chrome windows
    - listening to itunes
    - watching youtube videos, movies
    - MS Office 2010 word processing/excel spreadsheets

    Sometimes all 4 open at the same time,

    Can this Asus A52F handle this usage at a fast/good speed (no lagging), all day long?

    Also according to the above link it has 3GB RAM with 4GB 'expandable memory'.
    Not sure if this means 4GB is the maximum, or 4gb more can be added, which would make it max 7GB

    If i can expand more by 4gb, how much faster will it be with my usage?
    if i can only add 1gb . will it make much difference, for what i do?


    Overall opinions of this laptop/spec for what i will he doing??

    Thanks
