Is 2GB of RAM enough for a laptop?

I only want it to perform basic tasks such as web browsing (5-10 tabs open at the same time) and downloading movies and songs. I read that you can upgrade it to 8GB but i'm hoping this will be enough for now. I also plan on using Windows7

This is the laptop i'm looking at:

asus-x453m-notebook

Would it be suitable for what I want it to do? I can't find many reviews online.

I have a similar laptop with 2gb of ram that I use primarily for travelling.
Lenovo 110s
It uses a 32 bit windows which is what I wanted.
Really, 2gb is not enough. And, as in the case of the 110s, there is no ram upgrade possible.
If you find a used laptop with 2gb that can be upgraded, that might be ok.
I do not know about this particular laptop but the Celeron baytrail processor is puny.

If you are looking for an inexpensive laptop, go to the Lenovo outlet store.

I'd suggest another laptop. That really is not enough RAM for your needs, nor is it a good processor. Instead of adding RAM, add that to the amount you are going to spend and get something better.
