Upgrade your notebook or not?

I received a used notebook pretty cheap. It is probably a https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/...5+571+32nu

act. At least the look, screen, RAM, CPU match. I paid 80 euro for it. The last 7,8 years I had a Toshiba with I7, 16 gb Ram, SSD… Which unfortunately broke (self-fault). As expected, the performance of the Acer is inadequate. At first it was extreme the drive was permanently 100% busy and the CPU at 70% now I have some unnecessary apps and the service host app removed which brought a significant improvement. Now the workload in the simple Office / Internet operation (currently 1x PDF, 1x World, 1x Youtube and 2x Website at 30% Cpu and 60% Ram and the hard disk comes in simple copying quickly to their limits.) The Ram I would like in any case Upgrade what if I picked out the right model should also be possible to 16gb. On this occasion, it would also offer the same to install an SSD. The question is only this is possible and if it pays out anyway? After all, here is an i3 My goal is not to perform demanding tasks with it, I'll get a stand PC anyway, but at least a good office / media notebook on the go would be good

Can you do both?

Problem: you have to disassemble the whole laptop. That's fiddly for the SSD. For the main memory (the part can max 16 GB, so 2x 8 GB) you even have to completely remove the motherboard, since the bars on the bottom (ie actually dan the top) are attached.

In my opinion, the upgrade is not worthwhile, because the NB is too old.

Let's say so… At 80 euro, I would possibly make it, if you do not have to tinker so hard. There are 16 GB of RAM for just under 70 euro and you have a SSD lying around at home. Would only cost somewhere 50 euro for 500 GB.

Yes anyway then 200 for notebook ssd and ram and about 50 euro for the work

Bi

The question is rather, if you scrap something while expanding.

Of course, you can't trade CPU.

This should be an almost identical laptop:

I would let someone do that will cost me about 50 stop. But yes the question is whether it pays off because not quite contemporary cpu

Bi

I would never do that. That would not be worth it to me. Exactly because the CPU is no longer so the Bringer and no one can say when the whole part makes the straddling.

The somewhere 170 euro I would save myself and then buy something like an Acer Vivobook 3 with FullHD and 500 GB SSD at around 500 €.
