Questions about upgrading or if I should just get a new laptop instead.

Good history is therefore, I soon go to the College, and they need to each student to have a laptop. Now my laptop is not exactly in the best conditions (on a scale of excellent to broken I would say it is good) and there is certainly an upgrade and repair or two.

At this moment I have a HP Pavilion 9720us the only update with 2 GB of RAM instead of 1 GB. It's also like a broken webcam.

Currently, I am convinced that I have to upgrade the video card and the motherboard but also to repair the built in webcam.

I'm not too knowledgeable in repair laptops, and I don't know what are the parts would be compatible with my laptop.

So my question is should I go for repairs or just a new laptop?

And if I should go for repairs which parts I should get and where would be a good place to get the upgrades?

A laptop with the least amount of bloat ware on it, the better _ Sony, Toshiba. HP is OK if you close all unnecessary programs running down at startup, as HP Support Assistant, HP Dock and Gadgets Windows, even if it is not an HP application he devours resources and slows down the startup time.

If you use it in the game, so no laptop is good for this, they all have an insufficient cooling, there are some that are specifically for the games, but they start at around $ 1200.00 + and those who, like of being robbed.

If you're on a budget, put an additional Stick of RAM in your old and use it with an external hard drive. Keep all your stuff to school the disk external hard and if old laptop craps out, you have lost nothing. The external hard drive can be used on any machine.

If you plan to do video editing then you need at least 4 GB of RAM with an 'i' series processor. Now, all computers will be 64-bit with at least 3 GB of RAM, but it's the bare minimum. Some of the books very small note will be always 32 bits, but they would not make a good machine for College, hard disks are too small and most of the people do not have a DVD player.

Any computer will perform simple Word document application and save images.

Only you know what you're going to do with it, and I gave you a few suggestions.
