Can I upgrade my Laptop?

You can upgrade your laptop under the condition that your laptop has an upgradeable option by adding or changing the part of laptop. Those parts could be RAM, display card, hard disk, sound card, etc. So let’s check each part of the laptop, whether your laptop has chance to be upgraded.  

RAM: you can add RAM in your laptop, if there are extra slots on motherboard. You can check it through the manual, or go to the factory website, whether your laptop has extra slots for RAM. The easy way just bring laptop to store and let’s them add your laptop’s RAM. They just need you to decide which RAM capacity you want to buy. So you should decide that you will not upgrade again your RAM in future, so upgrade the maximum RAM capacity. Perhaps you don’t need too much RAM capacity, but in future you will not change the RAM and that mean you will not waste your RAM.

Display Card: this part have important task on playing PC games. Perhaps you complain that your laptop can not play some PC games, because they need high standard display card. Make sure that your laptop has extra slots for display card. Then choose display card with the highest memory on it. Because this will make your PC games run smoothly. But all depend to the motherboard slots, how good the display card, if the motherboard slots could not accommodate the high speed of display card will be useless. 

Hard Disk: there are two options, whether you want to change your hard disk or just add external hard disk for storage purpose. This depends to your need. If there is a chance that your laptop connection to the hard disk could be increased its access rate, better change your hard disk. It’s not complicated, as long as you know that hard disk is the slower part of the laptop system. At least higher access rate will give better performance.

Sound Card: perhaps you are not happy with sound quality on your laptop, and you want to connect to external sound system. You upgrade it by adding sound card, especially playing 3D games; you need the best sound quality to bring 3D games as real games.

All of this upgrade option depends to the motherboard, sometimes factory don’t give any option, just as it is. That’s way when you buy new laptop; choose laptop with the option to upgrade.
