  1. not really a good move.

    save money and try it with ubuntu linux  via a cdrom 'live' disk that boots into linux without disturbing windows.

    you can be on the web in 15 minutes.

    get open office suite  or staroffice too.


  2. you can change HDD or add RAM thats all i know..

    however if its for games, make sure your laptop can support the games you going to put in...

    i haven't seen a laptop full of games or what ever you want to call it.. laptop ain't for games...

    but yea games? then just get a PCdestop instead changing your specs on your laptop..

  3. Do it and I guarantee you at the end of the day you will end up with a garbage bag full of hardware. Taking apart a laptop is nowhere close to a desktop.It is a task for a very skillful and experience technician.

  4. Yes i have a friend who restores and rebuilds old computers and makes them into updated new computers. So yes it can definitely be down as long as you know all about the software and knowledge about computers go for it and if your good at rebuilding computers you should definitely think about going into that as a career or side career you can make good money from that. Good luck!

  5. Unless you are skilled in this line of work, your best bet is to take it to an experienced technician who can upgrade your laptop and all. Mind you, it will be costly...but it's either that, or purchase a new laptop.

  6. Let me give you some advice. You CAN change SOME parts but some parts are not removable. I would just sell that one and buy another one. Laptops are not easily upgradeable. Sorry.
