Should I refurbish an Intel pentium T4300 2.1 Ghz laptop?

[CroixFrozy]

Hi, I have an Acer Aspire 5738ZG. I'm interested if the processor is good enough to receive an upgrade. These are the specs :

Intel Pentium T4300 2.1Ghz

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 2304 MB

4 GB memory 

320 gb HDD

I'd put an SSD disk inside, buy a new battery and a screen. This would cost me about 110€ so I'm interested if it's worth it. 

Thanks for the advice in advance...

For gaming, no it will not hold up or be any good. For browsing the web and YouTube, it will be fine.

For 110€ you can easily get a 3rd gen i5 laptop with 8gb of ram and a ssd in it that is just so much better.

 

This laptop is at best a web browsing machine but even doing that it's not going to be fast doing that. Streaming stuff on it will be a pain as there is no gpu acceleration due to age so even 720p content is probably not going to happen.

 

I'd just sell it, donate it, give it away,... and get a i5 dell,hp,lenovo,... for that money from ebay it will just be better. Laptops like yours go for 50€ on ebay so it would be silly to spend double that on upgrades and repairs.
