hello, i am looking for some advice, my grandmother has an old toshiba satellite c850d and its very very slow, it has an AMD E1-1200 and ive came to the conclusion no matter what i try i will not make this laptop run fast or smooth due to that awful CPU, it already had an ssd and 4gb of ram, adding another 4 i had lying around made no difference so there doesnt seem to be any chance of giving this laptop a new lease of life
i need some advice on buying an older laptop that has the ability to run well with an ssd upgrade and extra ram thrown in, i can recycle the ssd from this laptop and use the ram sticks if required, ideally id like something that has an i5 or similar as i know my t430 runs very well with this CPU, i could just look for a t430 but the problem is the screen, her toshiba had a much nicer display so if i could get something with a decent enough screen and an intel cpu i could look around and pick something up cheap then upgrade it with what i already have and i believe i should be able to provide her with something that isnt lag lag lag
Many thanks
