Hello. I have a HP TouchSmart iq500. It was a gift given to me in 2009. I know that you cant upgrade All in ones, so my question is what should I do with it? Should I send it back to HP to see if they could upgrade it or is it a loss cause? Also if it is a loss cause should I just throw it away or see if I can get money out of it?

You can't send to to HP for upgrades. What are you looking to do with it? A good upgrade for it would be to replace the hard drive with an SSD, it will bring life back to an old computer. The SSD is also something you can transfer to a new system. You should (without looking) be able to add memory to it but the SSD might be enough. But if you are interested in upgrading so that games play better, you are looking for a replacement.

They do sell 100-150 on ebay so as long as you wanted to deal with boxing and shipping it you could get some money out of it, less the 13% fees.
