Past that, Dani is completely correct about memory issues.
For the one that I put memory in, I could put in one myself, but there was no direct access to the other slot. I had a friend who does this sort of thing for a living take it apart to get to the other slot to replace that stick. The laptop was able to take that much memory, I did my research, just was a huge task.

Also, check out refurbished laptops on the manufacturer's websites. That's actually where I got my first Dell. Got a great deal, not a thing wrong with it, same warranty and everything, good as new and looked new.
