PC & LAPTOP UP GRADES

摘要

Last month the European Parliament passed a resolution calling for rules on limiting so-called 'planned obsolescence', where manufacturers produce devices that have a built-in lifespan . That's great news, obviously - or it will be if manufacturers take any notice. But the proposals will be of little comfort to anyone whose PC is already slowing down, filling up or demonstrating other signs of old age just a few years after they bought it. The easiest way to cure a sluggish, ageing PC is to buy a new one - but that's also the expensive way. Instead, you could upgrade your existing computer with components that help bring it in line with current PCs, breathing new life into it and extending its lifespan for a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire system. Adding more memory can significantly improve performance and longevity, for example. Replacing your hard drive not only provides you with more storage, it could also radically speed up everything your PC does. Best of all, upgrading these and other hardware components yourself is surprisingly straightforward.
