It's also 32 bit and RAM limited which pretty much eliminates any possibility of using most modern photo editing programs.

Re: The importance of hardware updates
More recent laptops have USB3. I think even the refurbished HP laptop I bought a year or so ago has them (don't have time to verify that right now, but I think it's true). On 9/20/2018 17:14, P. J.

Of course that only works if you've got a desktop machine. On the other hand if you're doing your downloading and editing on a laptop, there's no helping you.

I finally decided enough was enough and bought myself a USB 3 card reader. Holy cow!! The new reader is something like 6 times faster.
