Hey [H], I was asked to speed up a 4th gen i3 laptop and wouldn't mind some input. It's a basic Toshiba laptop, 4 years old and has pretty much been unused. I'm wondering if it'd be worth upgrading it's 6GB DDR3 1600 (2&4) to a higher amount? It can support up to 16GB. Most of the 16GB (2x8) kits are less than $90 new. This'll be for light use, Office, Youtube, Netflic, basic web use.
Regardless of what I do with the ram I'll be swapping out it's 5400 mech HDD with an SSD which'll greatly improve it's performance. If I did the HDD and RAM upgrade I'd be looking at less than $200.
Thanks!
