    Hi lads,

    Currently hold an Asus transformer TF300 for browsing internet etc.......
    but, occasionally like to use my Dell M1330 XPS, for work/projects etc. Problem is, needs new battery for a start and is as slow as f**k. takes about half an hour to just turn on.

    wondering is it worth upgrading with specific parts. Lad I used to work with was in similar situation, he bought this : SEAGATE Momentus XT ST750LX003 2.5" internal hard drive - 750 GB + 8 GB SSD memory

    which is great im sure but expensive. Bought RAM too, im not sure what. Basically I'm looking to see if it's worth putting some life back into hopefully, and if possible can anyone point me in the right direction.'I'll buy off whatever, once it works.

    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Hybrid drives arent all that amazing. You'd be better get a true SSD.

    If you have the T7250 in your machine then it might be worth keeping going, but the battery is most likely dud at this point?
