dhoni4455 Posted Sunday at 05:40 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:40 AM I recently picked up an HP EliteBook 8570W and was wondering how it holds up today. Is it still a decent laptop for daily use or light workloads in 2025? Also, what upgrades make the biggest difference more RAM, an SSD, or even GPU/CPU changes? Curious if its worth upgrading or if its better to move on to something newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluon Posted Wednesday at 07:23 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:23 AM Depends what you have, what you'd like to achieve and how much time, money and effort it's worth. If the CPU's a dualcore, you could upgrade to quadcore, like i7-3840QM. Some dualcore 8750w's have 2 x 8Gb DDR3 RAM slots, other dualcores and all quadcores have 4. So you may be limited to 16gb. M.SATA SSD, like Samsung EVO, can be used as the primary disk. The stock GPU, K1000M 2Gb, is very modest. But it can be upgraded. That's one place where performance gains can be made. It's decent system, overall. The chassis is good. But the dualcore model in particular grows long in the teeth when you try to upgrade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
