Starting uni comes with a lot of fresh commitments.

However unique your business idea might seem to you, you’re in for a tough ride if you want to enter a crowded marketplace.
5. How much RAM I you require?
Will you just be browsing the web and sending emails, or do you plan to watch videos and edit photos?
