At home I have a new desktop computer and two old laptops. My wife has
one of the laptops for her exclusive use. Mainly emails and browsing is
about all she does. However, she does leave the computer switched on all
day.
She tells me that sometimes recently she has had some problems when
using the browser. The screen loses the picture, or it seems to stick.
So far she has managed to get it going again.
On checking my records I see that I bought that laptop back in June
2013, so it is getting a bit old. It does have a spinning HD, not an
SSD. (Back then they were not so common.)
So I am wondering, should I just get the HD replaced with an SSD, or
would it be more sensible to get a new laptop altogether? I suppose
that nearly seven years is getting on a bit in computer terms.
Any suggestions please?,
Neil
