A friend of mine wanted to sell their laptop and offered it to me. It's a Samsung r540, motherboard model BA92-06785A. They are asking $200, which I thought was more than fair. I won't be doing all that much on it, mostly office stuff or browsing the Internet. I may want to do some things with Photoshop or InDesign, possibly some free gaming like UrbanTerror or America's Army. I was looking into upgrade options, well because that's what we do around here. Always looking for something to be bigger, stronger, faster, and just overall better. I don't really know my way around laptop hardware all that well and was just wondering a few things.
Is this a good buy?
Should I upgrade it if I do purchase it?
Upgrade options:
Core i3 370m (installed) or Core i5 520m ($100-$150 used): Yes or No?
4GB DDR3 (installed) or 8GB DDR3 ($30-$40 new): Yes or No?
500GB hard drive (Installed) or 240GB SSD($209.99): Yes or No?
Also, I included a picture of the motherboard and was wondering what are the items circled?
