Upgrading won't make it faster. The processor is like 5% of modern i5 laptop

Just wondering if anyone still holding this netbook, it has been lying around my room and since now i need regular carry laptop around, im thinking of "upgrading this" instead of my big lappy.. is it worth the upgrade?
maybe add more ram and new hdd or even ssd.. specs should be this:

Hmm, what applications would you be using on this particular netbook?
Max supported ram as per specs sheet would be 2GB - so not much multi tasking is advised even if it's upgraded to the maximum stated. It would run alright but by comparison to its newer counterparts, there is probably a discernible difference.

I would predict lags / hangs on more intense applications - such as bigger excel sheets / multiple browser tabbing.

Do note that support for Windows Xp has been discontinued as well.

Max RAM is 2GB for this model. SSD you can upgrade.
But definitely do NOT recommend to do so. The failure rates for this model is very high by now. Battery, keyboard and motherboard are all prone to failure.
Might as well get a used i5 laptop and upgrade to SSD. :)
