We have an ageing Acer Aspire 7736G which gets minimal use, but is an essential part of the home IT kit.
The battery has been replaced in the past but is dead again so it's always linked to the mains. It was upgraded to Win 10 but because of minimal use has not been getting upgrades.
Upgrades now installed so it is now behaving a little better.
It has a 320gb hard disc, 4 gb ram, intel core 2 duo P7450 processor & 17.3" screen.
It is mainly used for photo storage/display, internet browsing and MS word/excel.
Thinking of upgrading and the possibilities are to bin it and buy a new one. Or, buy a new battery (around £30) and a new SSD hard disc, which 240/250gb would probably be adequate (around £55/£60)
Thoughts please..............................
