What can i do to upgrade a Dell - Studio Laptop with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400 ?
Hey guys, I just got myself a Dell - Studio Laptop with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400. What can i do to upgrade it OR how how do i even know what can be upgraded? Anyone knows anything or any tips? Thanks in advance!
You can upgrade your RAM, HardDrive, Optical Drive, and Processor. Check out your Dell Studio Service Manual for details on how to dismantle and install new parts. Be sure that the new parts you buy are compatible. You should have been given a User Manual which includes the Service Manual. If not. go to http://www.dell.com and search "your laptop model service manual."
However, you may void your warranty by taking the laptop apart. I wouldn't advise upgrading the laptop until your warranty is up. Furthermore, it might be more cost effective just to buy a new laptop. Some of the components (mainly the processor) are very expensive to replace.
Specifications: When I think of Toshiba, I think of reliability and durability. For a while now, I have always wondered why it has yet to enter the netbook market. Toshiba fans will be delighted to know that it has recently released the Toshiba Mini NB205 netbook. It is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor and 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 2GB). For storage, it comes with a 160GB hard drive. For connectivity, it is wi-fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth 2.1 enabled.
Design: The design of the new Toshiba Mini NB205 netbook would have to be one of its biggest selling points. It sports a professional/serious look. This model measures at 10.4 x 7.6 x 2.9 inches and weighs at just 2.9 pounds. The external casing of this model has a matte surface as opposed to a glossy fingerprint-magnet surface. This is a refreshing change of design among the other popular netbook models in the market. Generally it has a pretty slim and sleek design. The only thing that bugs me is the protruding 6-cell battery on the back. The thick frame/bezel around the screen is also a little distracting. This model is available in a variety of colors.
Features & Performance: Typing on the Toshiba Mini NB205 netbook takes a little time to get used to, but once you get the hang on it, it feels pretty comfortable to type on. The mouse track pad was also very spacious with huge click buttons. Toshiba claims that the netbook can last up to 9 hours on one charge. The last time I used it without plugging in the power point, it lasted about 7 hours, which was pretty impressive. This netbook was quite speedy. The audio quality from its speakers was only mediocre. Despite its flaws, the Toshiba Mini NB205 netbook is all in all a pretty decent netbook and may prove to be a formidable competitor to other popular models in the market.
