Question I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4114 Model PSAA8U-0MD02K with XP media edition. I got it two years ago and it's still doing great. However, Im going off too college this fall and I was thinking I'd like to update it. What kinds of updates can I get for a reasonable cost?
Answer None, to speak of, given the age of the system, and proprietary nature of laptops, there will be no upgrades available that will provide any level of performance relative to their cost. Honestly I'd suggest getting a new system if you can afford it, or need more performance for various courses, otherwise just go with what you have.
