iamian: Lots means 20+ tabs at a time... It's like she doesn't know about bookmarks or something! Lots of drama when one of the kids accidentally closes them all, haha!

So with windows 8.1 is would only be around 10 seconds startup/wake up with a HDD? That would probably mean she wouldn't need an SSD...

Thanks everyone for all the replies so far!

I use a Chrome Extension called Tab Suspender, it works wonders on having 20+ tabs open.

Thanks I'll give it a look! Does it take longer once you go back to the tabs?

Yes but it's fairly quick to reload them. you can choose the timeout as well, and tabs that you have pinned do not get suspended, I tend to pin Gmail, Feedly and sometimes Facebook and just let the rest of my tabs suspend.

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.
