So it sounds pretty self-explanatory, LOL... But, I was curious as to what I could do to determine whether I will need a new laptop for college (this fall; fall 2018). Does anybody have any ideas? It's getting a bit slow, and it is probably four or five years old... But, I would definitely be willing to throw in an SSD for some extra speed, upgrade the RAM (if even possible), and of course, reinstall the OS... What do you people think? Obviously going to college = low budget. LOL!
