One problem with smaller computers is that they tend to use custom or proprietary parts. They are often too small or lack the expansion slots needed for upgrades. The things you want to upgrade might be built into the motherboard. The compact PCs often use boards similar to those in other PCs, but with parts removed, so you often don't have all the necessary hardware or connectors needed, so you might not be able to install all the RAM the chipset was made to handle. The smaller PCs often rely on smaller power supplies which won't be able to handle too many upgrades.

It might not be your computer that is being slow. It might be your browser, try upgrading it to the newest form of your browser.

Does socket affect computer upgrading?

The CPU socket does not affect computer upgrading as much as one might think. There are some motherboards that can have a different CPU installed, resulting in increased performance. Many motherboards, however, are designed with a specific CPU in mind, and it is better, and cheaper in the long run, to replace the motherboard or even the entire system unit. (You can buy a whole new system for less than the price of replacing a motherboard, memory, and hard drives.)
