I bought this computer with the absolute intention of upgrading it, once it arrived (great condition) I updated to the latest OS and it was very glitchy and slow for basic needs. I purchased an SSD and ram and upgraded it myself, now this computer is a workhorse for me and can handle 40+ hours a week of basic work. These computers are at the age where the hard drive will begin to fail which will make basic things very slow and difficult. Mine once I upgraded would not even allow me to open files, but now that it’s upgraded with a small purchase of some extra ram and a solid state drive it’s a beast!
