Bought our daughter a Lenovo Flex 15D about 2-3 years ago. AMD A4 processor, not sure if there is 4 or 8GB of RAM, but there is a 256GB SSD. Having a hard time finding any other specs.
She's finishing her senior year of high school and looking at colleges, and like all 17 year olds, thinks she needs a Macbook to succeed. She's been complaining that the 15D is slow, and battery life is somewhat suspect, even by me. To be honest, I haven't looked at it in a while, but I know she doesn't have a ton of programs installed, and she doesn't do much more than use MS Word and use it for the internet, so it's not graphics heavy use or anything. I did install a few things a year ago to clean it up a bit (CC Cleaner, disabled some startup processes, etc). Is there any hardware I can consider replacing in this that might keep it in use for a bit longer, or should I just start looking for a replacement?
