Solved! dell latitude 3440 laptop upgrades? is it worth it?

[Inquisitivenoob]

wanting to upgrade my laptop to be better for nursing school and lite gaming (just WoW on lowish settings)

would it be worth adding another 4gb ram (has 4gb right now) or just pop 2 8gb sticks and go to 16gb

would it be worth putting an ssd in my laptop? or would i be better off buying a used/refurb laptop that is newer and had more ram, better cpu?

also i can get a 500gb ssd and 16gb ram kit for $158 right now or 99 for just 16gb ram or 8gb ram for $52

That system can only support up to 8gb max, so a matching 4gb stick is the way to go, and is a good idea.

do you know if this laptop will take an ssd or m2 ssd?

 

[logainofhades]

You could replace the HDD, in the system, with a sata ssd, like a crucial mx500, or samsung 860 evo.
