hey guys, im just here for help about upgrading my laptop. yes, i know they are n00bish, but hey, what can you do?
I have an Asus 64-bit R500V laptop, with an Intel CORE i5 processor, 4GB of ram, and an NVIDIA GeForce 610M 2GB graphics card. feel free to ask if I forgot anything.
Firstly, is it possible to upgrade a laptop of this sorts?
Secondly, what is the weakest component of this setup that is dragging everything else down. What should I upgrade first?
Thanks in advance.

Note that laptop upgrading is very limited, as the CPU, GPU and other components are soldered on board and are non-removable.
If you just want to play games, it depends on what games you play and their settings.
Don't expect much from that 610M of yours if you are playing games. It is slow (Game standards) and will drag the rest of your laptop down. It is fine for normal work usage but not for gaming.
