I received an older Inspiron 11 3168, Model P25t, 2-in-1 laptop from a friend and am considering upgrading it. I have 4GB RAM, a Pentium N3710 processor, and require a new hard drive and power supply. Any suggestions?

What will you employ it for?
Consider swapping the HDD for a 2.5" SSD of suitable dimensions.
Also, update the power brick.

For the grandchildren to enjoy simple games during trips in the car, and for us to occasionally access our emails, etc. Thanks for the suggestion Titan.....!
