I just bought a new Toshiba laptop. I didn't get the one I wanted due to being out of stock currently(it was a great deal). . I bought a Toshiba, Satellite C55-B5270, 15.6" Laptop, 8GB Memory, 500GB Hard Drive, Intel Pentium, Windows 8.1 Very surprisingly happy with it. I know a little about computers, but not well rounded with them. Anyway, my older and much cheaper laptop shows it needs a new hard drive. It is a Compaq CQ57-339WM Notebook PC Intel(R) CPU 8800 @ 1.50GHz 150GHz 2.00 64 Bit OS GB Memory Is it worth it to purchase a new one, or just trash it. Or, if there's anything else i could buy to improve it even better besides the hard drive. Thanks

Depending on what you do on the computer a cheap option would be just to change the hard drive and have a second laptop instead of buying a new one completely
