Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

You could upgrade to 8 gigs of memory...2 x 4 gig DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM

 

You could upgrade to a 2.5 inch SATA solid state drive instead of the mechanical hard drive. 

 

This is a 7 year old laptop so your expectations need to be modest. 

 

$60 for memory:

$54 for the SSD:
