The processor, as a rule, can be replaced by more powerful. It is worth notify that this one is suitable only for motherboards with a processor nest.

One of the most frequently replaced components of the laptop computer is a hard disk. If you have saved when you buy, making a choice in favor of a model with a smaller volume of hard drive, then as needed, you can easily install a more capacious disk with a screwdriver.

In an attempt to save on the purchase of a computer or to purchase it as soon as possible, you can stay on options with a minimum amount of RAM. Memory chips are collected on the planks that are inserted into the appropriate slots on the motherboard, so it is always possible to add a new line in a free slot or replace old planks at all. It is important to be guided by the supported sizes of the memory boards and the number of nests on board.

It is now difficult to meet a laptop that could not boast a webcam, network adapters Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and even more than an audiolate or wired network card.
