    hi, i have a couple of questions, first is what do you think my laptop is worth, and can I upgrade the processor? it's a celeron M, extremely slow, and I'm kind of fed up with it.
    The spec is: ToshibaSatellite Pro L20 Cel M-360 -
    1.4ghz 256mb 40gb 15" XGA -
    ATi DVD-SM (DL)wireless 11g

    Bought it when I was in college year and a half ago. The other thing is that every time I download free trials of programs such as photoshop it ends up coming up as file corrupt, and then won't open. My norton antivirus subscription has expired a couple of months ago: could that be the reason maybe?

    So, basically what I'm asking is firstly can I get a better processor installed in this laptop, or speed it up another way, or if I have to get another laptop, would I have any hope of trading this one in or selling it to someone else? I hope the corrupt files thing isn't serious? Or should I just buy a new laptop altogether? I'd like to learn graphics and design so that's important also.

    Would appreciate yer help guys. Hope I'm not asking too much. Thanks a mil.

    It would be easier and much cheaper to install more RAM. You need an up-to-date anti-virus program like AVG, Anti-vir or avast!, they all have free versions available.
