that is my bedroom laptop to a T. wife said it was broken (it was hers) and i said like fuck it is. popped a new SSD in there and installed windows.
it’s such shit. it barely runs. completely locks up every like 5 minutes for 10-20 seconds. i just use it to watch stocks during work (bedroom is also my office).

Me when I put an SSD and RAM upgrade into a Dell Inspiron 1525 back in 2022

Does web browsing well and boots fast but anything demanding it’ll be like the guy in the post

She’s an old girl but she manages okay.
