Got a Used 2 in1 Dell for working from my car

[LDX]

I was planning to buy a transformer or something like that

The thing is that my family requires some special attention

and some days during the week i need to take the car and leave the office

so I need something to work from my car... my phone just cant do the thing

so I got an apu laptop that can barely runs all the software i use

but not quite enough and i would like something with a touchscreen

cause using a touchpad inisde the car sometimes its tricky

 

So my bropther sent me this used 2 in 1 laptop

Dell 13 7000 (Model P57G)

With a Core i5 4210U 1.7ghz

8gb DDR3 single channel

512gb but i believe is not an ssd

and i feel that is not powerful enough

however i still need to reinstall the OS

cause I think it has a lot of crapwares and adwares

from it last user, so, even when i feel it is not powerful enough

its similar than the thig i was planning to buy which was

an asus transformer with win 10 or even a surface go

 

Si i was thinking that perhaps this can be improved in some way?

ur thoughts pls

it would become very good if you could throw a nice 250 or 500 or 512gb ssd and put windows 10 on that, and it would be very fast for general computing things and internet browsing. also will do very good in the things like word/excell.

thanks man, I am planning to do so, it already came with win 10

but what worries me is that single channel ram

and i dont know much about this cpu

8GB RAM and SSD will give you smooth Windows experience. A Haswell 2c4t ULV will be sufficient

it already has 8gb in a single channel

but dont know if this can be improved

I mean is there a second slot for ram in this thing? 

 

I read somewhere that it has an m.2 slot 

but those a little bit expensive

Okay, I guess not
