Upgrading hardware or buying a new laptop

[Misha014]

My mother is currently using Dell Inspiron 1564 with : intel i3 M 330 2.13GHz, 2GB ram DDR3 and shitty 250GB Toshiba HDD.

She mostly uses it for watcing movies, listening to music, facebook and browsing the news.

I was wondering if it's better to buy a brand new laptop or just buy 4/8 GB ram and a decent 120GB ssd to improve the performance of the dell laptop?

Can someone please help. Thanks !

I would say that 4 gigs of ram is enough for your mother. Buy an ssd and it should help with the loading times of programs and os. This is assuming that the 120 gigs is enough.

Thanks for the answer, 120gb is more than enough as I just need to install some programs and put couple of movies and tv shows on it. Cheers
