Hi Manoj,
Let me try and answer all your questions one by one.
- Battery getting drained can depend on the applications being used or battery life being close to life and if it is a 4 Cell battery then it can run up to an hour or 15-30 minutes extra depending on the usage conditions. However, please check if you are getting any errors indicating battery needs replacement before buying a new one.
- Applications running slow can be because of the issue with the over heating and you can update BIOS to see if the over heating issue gets fixed. Download and update the BIOS from this link http://dell.to/1kSnrWA
- Your laptop supports a maximum of 8GB and if you would like to upgrade memory then we have 4GB modules available and I have mentioned the price below per 4GB module.
-Unfortunately Video/Graphic card can not be upgrade as the option is not available for this laptop and the same goes to Processor.
Please let me know if this helped or if you have any further queries.

Hi Manoj,
Thank you for your reply.
Increase in memory(RAM) always results in better speed in accessing the applications. This includes better speed while playing games too. However, the speed of the games also depends on requirements by the game like Direct X version, memory, process, etc.
The same factors are applicable on other applications too.
DDR3L memory module comes with lower voltage which basically mean lesser heat and longer life duration compared to DDR3 memory module.
The new 3rd gen intel core processors
(ivybridge) support DDR3L. If your laptop has this process then it does support DDR3L and if not then you can use DDR3.
And if you would like to clean the dust inside your laptop you can use the device called Can of compressed air which will help you take care of the dust.
Please revert if you have any more questions.

For the overheating issue, be sure the system is free of dust and that the fan is running (F12 at powerup, Dell diagnostics will test the fan).
You can upgrade RAM to 8G, yes.
Whether you can upgrade the CPU depends on the CPU you have now. Generally, CPU upgrades cost more than they provide in performance gain.
The video chip/RAM CANNOT be upgraded.
