System recommendation

Question

I have Dell Vostro 3546
intel core i3 4500U (4rth gen)
RAM 4 GB
HDD 1TB
- It's working too slow, freezes, and lags a lot.
- Boot time 3 Min or more
- Takes a lot of time opening R studio and python shell.
* I wanna learn python and R, would upgrading RAM and swapping HDD with SSD, solve those issues.
I also use some software like imajeJ alot.

Answer 1

@Mirelle[InAcTive] about RAM, there is a limit to which the motherboard can support the RAM amount. Please read the chipset manual for the limit.
Laptop's ram ( which needs to be upgraded from 4GB) can be extended between 8 gb to 16 gb and counting as the tech advances..
I have specified "pc" and not "computer" for this reason..due to availability of slots.
Thanks.

Answer 4

Edited:
I have upgraded to 8GB ram..and Android studio works smooth..if you have a pc then increasing ram to more than 12GB won't be a feasible option..as additional slots are required.. you may have to remove your CD slots for upgradation.
//With reference to my system.
Also i7 proprocessors have an edge over i3.

Answer 8

I have laptop from 2009 AcerAspire 5738.
Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz
Intel GMA 4500MHD
4GB RAM
320GB HDD
Using Xubuntu. Its enough for me to just open VSCode and few tabs in Mozilla. Youtube and some webs make it reach 40-70% processor, but documentation webs and google keep it fine like 5-15%.
As mention before it may be that you need to format your drivers and properly install OS and the programs and set em not to open all when Windows Starts cuz ull have many programs running in background. I try to keep it as clean as possible .
