Laptops are not designed to be kept "up to date" like a desktop where you can swap in new components in a regular basis.  You get what you get.

 

You could increase the RAM, but that would not do much for performance.

 

The main performance gain would be from replacing the HDD with a SATA SSD -- and I would get a 500GB model so you have some extra disk space.  You will notice much better performance with that change.
