what are you asking?

you can upgrade the HDD to a 7200RPM

get another ram stick to bump it up to 16BG

get an m.2 for faster boot times etc.

can you only afford one, two, all three?

If you want an affordable fast ssd, grab a Samsung 850 250gb. Great speed, good price. Don''t buy optane, it's expensive and unneccesary for a laptop.
