I got the old laptop from my late Grandpa.
It's a Packard Bell - EsayNote MS2291.
The box is way too slow for me and I would like to equip it now with an SSD and more Ram.
Is that even possible?
What do I have to pay attention to when buying the SSD?
Which SSD fits in there?
Would upgrading really bring something?
I'm still a novice what this all about…
If the laptop has a SATA connection, then it works without problems.
That's fine. Has SATA, so no problem.
Every SSD 2.5 ".
Since it hardly has enough power, a 120GB is enough.
He probably has an Athlon II P360. So it's not a rocket anyway.
Hard disk is not a problem. Just take a 2.5 inch SSD.
Main memory may be possible, but not necessarily. But I think you can double the memory. Need a 4 GB module.
Here's what the internet finds: https://www.ipc-computer.de/packard-bell/easynote-serie/l/lm/ms2291/
But the laptop will not be fun with the new SSD and more memory either. The CPU is simply too weak for that. That was 8 years ago an entry-level CPU.
Similarly, the built-in Intel HD Graphics 4000 is not suitable for playing.
Surfing may go, but maybe slow. Since 8 GB of RAM can help.
But you'll notice a big difference anyway. Costs are about 25 euro.
Thank you for the competent answer!
That's cheaper than I thought.
Many thanks for your response.
Could you also install a better CPU?
Could you also install a better graphics card?
Since you would probably have to watch synonymous, how much does the display or?
I do not need Sims4 for the girlfriend to play games, but that's all.
I would rather use it for surfing and administrative matters. I also have a real PC I just want to spice up the laptop to do something on the go or on the couch.
No, except SSD and RAM you can't do anything. Also on the couch the nciht will be a lot of fun.
Try it, it does not cost much.
But as I said, the part was already 8 years ago, not the screamer.
Yes SSDs are currently. Very cheap.
