Is it more worth it to...

[angwayjeh]

...replace parts of a five-year-old laptop or sell it and top up to get a new one?

depends on your usage, if its not that big or a lot. its fine to keep it as it is. and beside that there are some parts that is limited to your laptop as well. like what u can upgrade is to change from hdd to ssd or to upgrade more rams, but all these u need to check your laptop specs.

usually 5 year old laptops are worthless le. Upgrade wise quite difficult too. Other than upgrade to SSD, there nothing much u can upgrade, not make any significant difference in upgrading. If use for it liao I will rather dump it than spend the effort to go find a buyer

am i able to get better deals elsewhere? (for a laptop, budget ~500-600)

I would say that all these laptop deals seems ok, but im not sure if their current market price will be as stated in their price. but i rather u go down tmr to comex and look for a better laptop within their price range.

next is that u might want to consider if those specs really fits your needs instead of budget.

Do understand a bit on marketing pricing.

UP mean Usual Price which may not be the RRP Manufacturer Recommended Retail Price.
Challenger pricing is normally price for Member only.
The 0% instalment for cc is added in.
Credit card banks charged 4% off the full amount.
Summary. It may be higher than market pricing.

At the point of purchase it is a good idea to do upgrade on RAM and top up the difference.
Standard RAM is good for the very basic.
Should u upgrade later it is waste on both cost and nobody do trade in and u pay the difference.

Last day is a good bargain.... COMEX.

Sell or trade in your old laptop...... you will have problems finding parts for replacement or upgrading... we are slowing moving to DDR4 ram liao. Also less heat for your new laptop.
