@SandeepRoy You might be able to use the notebook as a "media reading/watching device" under the circumstances you're in and with a lightweight Linux distro might be able to do some "light load", but anything requiring proper performance is scaled to work on current spec, which is what John gave you. If you want something cheap quickly, look at refurbished computers/notebooks with a refurbished warranty.

@SandeepRoy ..who checks it, reinstalls the software, gives it some cheap drive or upgrades it a bit, and gives you a year or two of warranty for half the price of a similar computer new. And since you need a working machine and not a gaming laptop with a powerful graphics card, the machines are a bit cheaper since they don't get snatched by bitcoin miners and gamers.

@mishan Agreed. This machine isn't up to the workload which I'm trying to do. Thanks.
