Sony Vaio Pcg V505ex Laptop

Should I worry about upgrading my laptop?

I have a Sony Vaio (PCG-V505EX) with all default specifications. I've had it for about 3 years and is running a bit slow right now. As usually with any laptop can be heated depending on where I put the laptop. My question is if I upgrade anything on it or get me to invest in a desktop?

so there's a little slow and is ready for an upgrade or something new. the problem is that you have a laptop and not much to be updated. You can add more RAM, which is cheap and easy. But you have 512 MB of RAM (requirements for default) and this is sufficient for Win XP. buy more RAM can help, but after a certain point there is no diminishing returns and you'll see a big improvement for the world real. I estimate that about 10% faster on average, if you max out your RAM. default specifications comes with a 4200 rpm hard drive. thats a bit poor to today's standards (there are 7200 rpm for laptops). Even so, it might be difficult to open and update, and not to mention expensive and wasteful because you are buying a new part, throwing out your old one, and paying to put in real world performance increase? I estimate that another 5-10% faster on average. Laptops are difficult to open / update, so if you are asking about such things here, I'm not so sure of his computer skills could handle this type of procedure. the processor is built into the motherboard, you can not get to be updated or replaced. the same is true of the graphics card (3D/Games). regard the cost and hassle of getting these improvements will probably be more practical to put that money towards a new machine. Meanwhile, make sure you got rid of all viruses, spyware, and have all the latest patches and updates from Windows Update. delete temporary files, disk defragmentation, and leave a little space loose on the hard drive (about 2 GB), because things act weird when you run out of disk space. good luck
