After my experience with this one, I'm pretty sold on Lenovos and can't say I'd be getting anything but from now on.

As long as you have a hard drive big enough (you do back up your computer regularly, right? ) transferring your files should be a matter ofv drag and drop, and letting the computer work overnight.If you really want speed improvements, get an SSD (solid state drive). You can go from pressing the power button to browsing the web in 30 seconds (including password typing)

Oh that would do it.

I have thought about doing a clean install with an SSD upgrade but in the end I figure I'm still limited on RAM and it's still a lot of money in an old machine. How long until the fans go or the MB develops issues and the money I've spent becomes worthless? If I could upgrade the RAM to at least 8gb I'd run this one for a few more years.Def
Don't need more than 4gb of RAM? Apparently you have never tried to edit video coming from a Gopro. ...Def
