Is it possible to upgrade the processor in my Acer Aspire V5-123-3466? It runs incredibly slow and I just noticed that it has a 1GHz AMD dual-core E1-2100 processor. I’m guessing that’s the culprit since it has 4g of RAM and 400+ gigs of hard drive space available.
 
If you can, return this really slow laptop.

Other options:
You could try a SSD instead of the used HDD
try installing ChromeOS, Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution instead of Windows

I didn’t buy it, actually. It was given to me to use at a place I used to work at and I was told I could keep it when I tried to return it after I had turned in my notice.
