Bought a Thinkpad E545 from the Lenovo Outlet for about $240 w/tax.
Here's the specs; AMD A6-5350M (dual core)/4gb/AMD 8450 graphics/320gb HDD.
I'm thinking about upgrading the memory 8gb to a total of 12 GB and adding a WD Dual drive (128SSD + 1TB HDD) to speed it up.
Is it worth it to upgrade the chip to an A10-5750m quad core? Will there be a huge difference from the A6? Will be using it for some gaming like Minecraft and Steam. Also does the fan have to be upgraded?
Thanks!
