Out of curiosity, how much did you spend for it? Because it's VERY old and I hope you spent like 100$ MAX (Even then, it's a lot)
180€ prices are very high in my country, I might upgrade it when I have more money
But that's a waste of money. I know, I know "My money, I do whatever I want" but to upgrade it, you basically have to throw away the whole pc (no mouse, monitor, keyboard, etc). To upgrade the GPU, you need a better Power supply, for a new CPU, you need a new Motherboard and probably RAM. I was curious and you can do what you want with your money, of course, I'm only saying you have to change the whole pc for the upgrade. Happy gaming tho!
It may be more productive to layout an example of how you could make a better build with the same budget. Your critique may be accurate, but it doesn't really help them build a better system next time.
And most importantly provide examples from their area (which currently we don't know other than in the euro area).
The budget is very low. You can maybe find some deals around the web for some parts but not a whole "gaming" pc for 200€
Here in America, people will pay $1000, sometimes more for basically the same thing except a little thinner. There's no incentive to make better laptops because "crappy specs except a little thinner" is what sells. It makes it hard to find actually good laptops without paying an absolute fortune.
