i dropped my normal laptop and smashed the screen and have been given this one a as a replacement but it is so slow can this laptop be upgraded to run faster?
I can see all the specs but no idea what i'm actually looking at.

what would I need to buy? can I do it myself? I really can't afford to buy a new laptop
thanks
omg Celeron….
Whatever you do don’t try and ‘download’ more ram
Celeron processor so that is your main problem. You could make it run a little faster by running a lighter Os like Linux or Chrome Os flex, but otherwise the limitation is with the anaemic processor (which is also a couple of generations behind)
Also, most laptop screens are very easy to repair / replace, with some exceptions being Apple Macbook and touchscreen devices. If your laptop is a traditional clamshell notebook chances are you can do it yourself by following some YouTube guides or reading the service manuals.
the original laptop slipped and fell right way up however it smashed the screen? and has buckled the case still useable however the screen is multicoloured
was hoping i could upgrade ram instead of replacing a screen - assuming it would be cheaper if i could
Can you sell the ASUS Vivobook Go? If you could, then use it to fund a new laptop purchase.
This Dell Latitude 5500 for example costs less than $200 from eBay and it has a quad core coffee lake processor (Core i5 8365u), 16GB RAM, 256GB storage and a 12m warranty. Would be many times faster than any N-series Celeron.
Don't waste your money buying ram for a low-end device. You could give it all the RAM in the universe and it will still be slow.
need to invest in a more durable device like thinkpad or macbook. this laptop lasted just under 3 yr?
Doesn't sound like you can do much unfortunately. RAM is maxed out and it's already on a SSD
It's a weak processor to begin with, I don't think you can do much hardware-wise
If you're desperate debloat Windows or ditch it completely?
Or look at getting a refurbed ex-corp laptop? Any of the sub $500 ones posted here on OzB
