Cons and possible solutions

CPU

• low processing power

SOLUTION: carry out single tasks at a time, close unused background apps; upgrade

Motherboard

• limited compatibility

--> supports limited components

SOLUTION: identify slots, ports and maintain said components in good condition; upgrade

RAM

• limited to 4GB

SOLUTION: lightweight software usage; RAM upgrade

Graphics

• absence of a dedicated GPU

--> not efficient for heavy work

SOLUTION: upgrade to new GPU

OS

• automatic updates installation while in use

SOLUTION: disable automatic update in work hours + add active hours

HDD

• reads and transfers data slower than SSDs

SOLUTION: upgrade to SSD
