What do you use the laptop for? How much are you willing to spend?

Easiest thing to upgrade would be RAM. Looks like you can upgrade to 8GB of 1600 RAM.

Besides that, hard drive would be the next easiest. It's a 7200RPM so its better than most laptops. You could get an SSD, but those are expensive for a little bit of space compared to a regular HDD.

Any other upgrade, like the processor, would require opening the laptop and basically voiding the warranty.
