I recently bought a Dell Latitude D630 and it’s nowhere near as fast as I was expecting for Something so relatively modern.
If I scroll a page, for example, it can take several seconds for the page to actually move, or if I hover over a link, it takes several seconds for the cursor to change from an arrow to a pointing finger.
It’s got a 1.8Ghz CPu and 512Mb of RAM.
It’s also got an 80Gb HDD, which is plenty for me.
I was looking at upgrading, but at £52 for 4Gb of RAM plus £34 for a 2.6Ghz CPU, I wondered if I’d be better off spending the money on a super duper new one.
Is replacing a CPU and RAM something I can easily do myself and is it worth it ?
What’s the best value new laptop just for watching Youtube videos and stuff on a decent sized screen ?
