We have an old laptop here at our office that is frustrating it's user. The main frustration is the slow boot and load times. In the past, we would just replace this laptop with a new one. However, I wonder if a new SSD would be enough of a upgrade or if it would wouldn't be worth it on such an old machine.
The machine is a Dell Vostro 1500 bought in 11/2007. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and 3GB RAM.
Obviously this is such an old machine that the knee-jerk reaction would be to just replace it. However, the laptop is for a part time employee so it doesn't have to be top of the line. All it will be used for is data processing, internet, etc. Also, I have another machine that the SSD could be used on if it didn't do any good and we just had to replace the laptop anyway.
