Question Is upgrading Inspiron worth it ?

[Dan Gallant]

I obtained an older Inspiron 11 3168, Model P25t, 2-in-1 laptop from a friend and wonder if it is worth upgrading it?

I has 4GB RAM, Intel Pentium N3710 processor, and needs a new hard drive and power supply.

Thanks for any advice.......

What will you use it for?

If you have a use for it:
Replace the HDD with a 2.5" SSD of appropriate size.
Replace the power brick.

For the grandkids to play small games on it when traveling in the car, and for us to use from time to time to check our email, etc.

Thanks for the advice Titan.....!

And in conjunction with this new drive, a fresh install.
For ANY used system, this needs to happen.
