It’s good only for light computing. If you get a 3502 model with the Pentium CPU, 8GB RAM, and SSD, you can have quite decent performance for lite tasks like work with online web-based apps or MS Office apps.

Can you change the SSD from 256gb or 1tb easily?
Notify me of replies Unwatch this thread
Dan –
Yes, I would say it’s easy, since you have only to remove the bottom cover of the laptop, disconnect the battery, and remove a few additional screws. It’s easy for both the notebook’s M.2 SSD slot and the old 2.5″ HDD / SSD bay.
