I am about to buy a laptop for use on the internet, scanning, printing, and webcam use. How will 2GB or 4GB affect the performance of these and other functions?
Also, with a laptop, will I need to buy a docking station, port replicator or expansion base, and if so, which would be the least expensive for my use?

I would go for 4GB especially if your running Vista or Windows 7 it will just over all run better.

i most definitly will. i can do it alright right now, and with another gig and a half, it will be fine. im not a heavy gamer, just when i have down time.

2G is OK
:D
 
I agree that 2GB is enough. My laptop is already fast with a 2GB RAM. I upgraded it from 1GB to 2GB and the speed is observed to be faster now. 2GB will be enough for your use.
 
Yes 2 GB is enough according to your usage,

But i prefer you should buy 4Gb as a safe side, Because while playing game much RAM is required, and i feel so bad when Game stuck in between.So in future if you had plan for big games then RAM will be required.

But in your case i prefer 2 GB is more then enough.
