Here are the QuickSpecs:

 

Specs 

 

 

Service Manual:

 

Manual 

 

Its a Vista era laptop and the processor is removeable. Top option is an Intel T9600. RAM is DDR2-800, but some versions use DDR3. You have to figure that out. Either way, 8 gigs is the maximum (2 x 4) and it will accept a 2.5 inch SATA SSD as the hard drive and that would be the only way to go as an upgrade. You are likely looking at $150 US or so to do all the max upgrades without considering labor charges, and that money would be better spent towards a new laptop but with a T9600, 8 gigs and an SSD it would still be useable in today's computing.

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
