Hello,
I think it's time to upgrade my laptop.
But i don't know what.
I worked with Blender for a while , now i just use it for gaming.
Although my laptop wasn't build for gaming , it can handle games like Minecraft and Counter-Strike.
So , what should i upgrade?
More RAM , better CPU (although i don't know for sure you can upgrade a laptops CPU) , Buy a graphics card or something else?
Windows 8.1 64-BIT , 3 GB RAM
CPU: Intel Celeron 900 (2,20GHz)
I'm not sure about the Graphics Card but i think that i don't have one.
Dell Vostro 1520

There is no upgrading these laptops for the most part. The CPU you are stuck with. You can add some RAM, or change the HDD to an SSD, but that is it.

they are not cheap but check the asus and msi gaming laptops

i would say one with a 880m or 970m is your best bet

there really is no little upgrade that would make it better for gaming

not sure if a local shop could get you a better cpu and ram but pretty sure you wont be able to get a gpu in it

it would really just be a money pit
