CPU: Inter Core i5 3210M 2.5 GHz

Memory - 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 7670M (1 GB DDR3 dedicated)

Laptop - HP Pavilion g4-2049tx

I use photoshop, illustrator and multiple browsers' windows & tabs at the same time.

Is it wise to install an SSD in this laptop.. or should I look for a new one?

it all about your budget. You need not only to install only ssd but also increase your ram. 4 Gb is not enough for the program you run. If you cannot change PC I would recommend you to install 4 gb more of ram and a top tier SSD like samsung 250 evo etc.

If you can afford a new PC go for Lenevo Ideapad 310 it has enough specs to run the program you required plus it is affordable you will get it around 500

Question from thatLeodotcom : "Inter Core i5 3210M 2.5 GHz with 4 GB RAM - Good enough for how much more time?"



its depend on what u are looking to do with it.if its just for photoshop and basic task then it is still good.just upgrade ur ram to atleast 8gb if u want to multitask more and yeah a ssd will be 100% better.u can take out the hdd and put it in an external enclosure.
