1. 4 cores processor, 6GB of RAM, and 500 GB hard drive.

c. Maybe two disadvantages of this laptop can be, that it doesn’t have Backlit Keyboard, Optical Drive,
Webcam and Blu Ray Drive.

2. No, it’s not true. Generation matters high GHz but outdated generation is slower and
significantly latest generation but average GHz could be one of the fastest and better.
Generation makes the fact that you can do more with less. Home users usually only experience a
noticeable difference when making an upgrade to a major CPU revision such as going from 3.0
 GHZ to 5.0 GHZ, but there may experience a slight difference by going for 3.0 GHZ to 4.0 GHZ
but it would really not be that much significant to process applications much faster.

3. People want to upgrade a computer, because replacing that hard drive with a solid-state drive
(SSD) will make the machine run much faster.

Some of the disadvantages of a SSD comparing with a traditional hard drive are: that hard drive
is more affordable than SSD, HDD is easier to buy in most shops or it has higher storage capacity
than SSD.
