Hey there!
I’m looking for some advice on what components I should swap out to give my old laptop a bit of a second life. It’s a few years old, pretty similar to this one:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pro....187950.0.html
So, it's an HP ProBook G4. Here's the deal—it currently has two drives: a small SSD and an old-school 5400 RPM hard drive. I'm wondering which higher-capacity SSD you'd recommend to replace my current 128GB one (ideally something at least 250GB or more)? Also, would it be possible to ditch that slow 5400 RPM drive entirely and swap it out for an SSD too?
And if I wanted to upgrade my 8GB of RAM, what would you suggest?
I can't change the processor, but honestly, the laptop itself still runs great. I think I can squeeze another 2 or 3 years out of it if I do this...
Thanks so much for any help!
