Hello everyone!
It is that time of year when school is starting up again, so I need a laptop.
So, I have a question!
My brother offered me his laptop, a Toshiba A305-S6872 for $200. It has a core 2 duo, 3gb ram, and a 250gb hard drive. It needs a new battery, as the one it has lasts 12 minutes. The specs however are pretty darn good for school work. My question is:
1.) Is it a good idea to revive this laptop with an SSD? Will a modern day SSD work on a SATA 2 port? Can I maybe use both an SSD and a hard drive?
2.) Is it really worth spending $300+ on this laptop? I have looked around on certain websites, and everything less than $350 is not too great in my opinion.
Thanks!
