G50-70 59421783 upgrade with SSD 250 GB and to 8GB RAM

Hi, i would like to buy G50-70 59421783 ( Intel Core i5 4210U (1.70/2.70GHz, 2MB L3)
HD 1TB SATA - RAM 4GB - Display 15,6" wide
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n - Bluetooth 4.0 - Windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphic card AMD Radeon R5 M230 2GB ) and so I'll become a LENOVO user!!!
Is possible to upgrade it adding more RAM ? Is there another slot available?
Is also possible to replace the HDD with SSD 250 Gb (MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO) ? Is there any issue related (e.g. connector, driver, size ... )? I red the MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO is 2,5" : is it perfectly suitable ?
Many thanks in advance for the answer.
Cheers,
Giacomo

hi Giacomo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums
Regarding your questions:
1. Looking at page 28 of the HMM, the G50-70 uses the following RAM:
DDR3L-1,600 MHz SODIMM × 2 (max 16 GB)
- Link to picture
For the upgrade, you will need to look under the hood to identify if you have 2GB (x2), or a single 4GB.stick. Alternatively, you can also use CPU-Z for the identification.
- Link to picture
2. For the HDD, G50-70 with machine type 59421783 uses an ST1000LM024 8G 9.5mm 5.4K 1TB HDD.
Although the Samsung MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO is 7mm thick, it will still fit on the G50-70 and should work properly as there's a bracket that holds the drive in place (see page 37-38 of the HMM).

Have a mbp late 2011 2.2Ghz original config with 4G of ram 1333mhz , have upgraded ram to 8G of 1600mhz than upgraded with 16G of 1333mhz and find it much slower, should i return to previous config ?

Cheers everybody, new here...
I know, despite the specs published 8Gmax and 1333mhz, for the macbook pro late 2011 2.2G i7 processor
We can read here that its possible to go 16G ram, and also to 1600mhz.
1-have a mbp late 2011 2.2Ghz i7 (original config with 4G of ram 1333mhz)
2-last w/e have upgraded ram to 8G of 1600mhz found it seemed to work fine and it was fast
3-than upgraded with 16G of 1333mhz and find it much slower
Not sure of what to do from now :
wondering if it could be that 8G 1600mhz is optimal ?
I havent tried 16G of 1600mhz yet...

Hi there !
Update:
Here are the last changes, as of this morning, of the configuration on my macbook pro late 2011 (2.2Ghz processor 15.4 screen).
Now have 16 G (2x8) of Kingston RAM 1600mhz (12800 1.35V) that and a brand new 256G samsung 850 pro SSD.
I KNOW...NOT QUITE THE SPECS SUPPLIED FROM APPLE/INTEL ... :/
I was able to trade the 16G 1333mhz purchased RAM for 16G of 1600mhz , so i gave a shot...
So im happy about the result and hope this will last and not fry in the next weeks...
Honestly It's running quite well and fast too.
Thanks everybody and good luck
p.s.
And Here, as promised, the answer from Intel :
joe_intelIl y a 3 jours
The document does not list all the processor models but it is the correct document for your processor family (http://ark.intel.com/products/family/59136/2nd-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processo rs#@Mobile). "1Gb, 2Gb, and 4Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies" refer to SDRAM density, it is not about capacity as it is usually expressed in GB (instead of Gb). SDRAM density depends on the total amount of memory chips on the stick and per side (SDRAM organization). Memory modules rated or sold as 1600 MHz may or may not run at 1600 MHz; this depends on the Serial Presence Detect. If the SPD is 1333 MHz it will run at 1333 MHz by default unless it is configured manually. If the memory runs at 1600 MHz (by SPD or set up manually), the memory controller might be running at a higher clock speed than what it was designed for, this may cause issues along the way.

15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM v/s 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade?

HI All
This is my first post here. As mentioned I have a fall 2011 15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM and i was thinking of buying a 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade? I do light video editing and day to day tasks like word processing, email etc.
How would the performance of the Macbook Air with the Core i5 with 4 gb Ram be compared to the old Macbook Pro 15 with Core i7 Quad 2.0 ghz with 8 GB Ram.
Thanks
Sunny

The main advantage would be a solid state drive. This will improve performance and speed moreso than RAM considerations. The disadvantage will be a loss of storage space. Moreover, one of the disadvantages of a SSD is that the more storage space used on it, the slower it becomes and the quicker it will deteroriate.
If you do video editing, I would take the GPU into consideration. Does your 15'' come with a discrete GPU? The integrated GPU on the MBA (intel HD 5000) is better than the 2011 MBP integrated GPU (3000), but it includes no discrete GPU.
Depending on how much storage space you use on your HDD currently + how many graphics intensive programs you run, you may want to consider upgrading your current machine with a SSD, upgrading your RAM on current machine to 16 gb (~160$ through macmemory or newegg), or purchasing a new Macbook Pro rather than Macbook Air.
Last thing I would add:
You will never be able to upgrade MBA RAM. It is soldered to the logicboard on the new models, non-retina included. You may wan to opt with the 8 GB RAM configuration.

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

OK HERE IS WHERE I AM AT HARD DRIVE WENT DOWN UPGRADED TO A 250 GIG AND NOW NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL OSX ON THE POWERBOOK G4 17

I have a powerbook g4 17 and it recently went down the hard drive sounded like it was eating itself so i replaced the hard drive with a 250 gig and now i need help on how to get osx onto the powerbook it will not boot from disk i will start all the back at 0s9 if need be can anyone please help me i miss my g4

Do you have any OSX disks?
It won't boot from the new hard drive yet because there is no OS installed.
You need to use an OSX disk, put in your mac, then when turn on, hold down the C key (to boot from the CD).
Hold it down for a long time until you hear it noisily reading from the CD drive. Once OSX starts up (from CD) you should go to Disk utility and you will need to format your new hard drive.
Once formatted, you can then install OSX.
Everything is done from the OSX install disk.
If you don't have one, you can buy a retail copy from Apple (not Snow Leopard), or from Ebay. Make sure it is a retail copy, not disks that came with a Mac as they only work with the exact model of Mac it came with.

CRM2007 upgrade with BI 7.0 and SEM 6.0

Scenario: We currently use Opportunity Planning on CRM 4.0, (with BI 3.5 and SEM 4.0). We are upgrading to CRM2007 using only the Sales "Account and Contact Management" and Sales "Lead and Opportunity Management" scenarios in this phase.
We know that upgrade to BI 7.0 is required to support Lead and Opportunity Management and that BI 7.0 will only work with the SEM 6.0 version. We are on ECC 5.0 and do not plan an upgrade to ECC 6.0 at this time.
Question: Can someone confirm 1) that SEM 6.0 is required with BI 7.0 and, 2) If required, can we upgrade to SEM 6.0 in conjunction with our BI upgrade versus as part of a larger upgrade to ECC 6.0 (which now includes the SEM 6.0 component)?
Thanks
Edited by: Rick Moore on Apr 10, 2008 1:17 AM

Hai,
2) We do have the SEM 4.0 addon in existing BI 3.5. Where can we get the media for the SEM 6.0 upgrade so we can upgrade with BI 7.0? We have only been able to locate it packaged with ECC 6.0 media. Can we obtain it separately?---> The media can be obtained from SAP itself or else you can download the same from SAP ServiceMarketplace.
The Upgrade CDs for BI 7.0 are Netweavers2004s CDs only,it contains all the required media for upgrade of both BI and SEM simultaneously.
3) Our ECC 5.0 does not contain any SEM component. I don't believe it is packaged with ECC until 6.0. Is that correct? Our BCS consolidation uses the SEM 4.0 component in our BI 3.5.------> We can get the SEM compoenet for ECC 5.0 also. The SEM can be more customized with BI or WAS700.
Thanks and Regards,

Can you upgrade the Apple MacBook MB466LL/A to 8gb ram

can you upgrade the Apple MacBook MB466LL/A to 8gb ram

Apple only tests the MacBook with the RAM that's affordable at the time of manufacture. At that time 4gb RAM sticks ran about $400 each. Once they've tested them they never go back as the RAM drops in price since they're on to the next model by then.
So (Apple) means what they first tested the MacBook at. (Actual) means how much RAM the MacBook is capable of handling.

Does Apple upgrade my mid-2011 MacBook Air to 8GB RAM?

I would like to upgrade my MacBook Air 13" mid-2011 to 8GB RAM after seeing that the 2012 model supports 8GB RAM. Does Apple or anyone else offer this service? Thanks for all your replies.

No, Ram in the 2011 MBair is not upgradable.

New Mac OS upgrade with ssd

i have a old imac running Lion. I just bought a new Mac mini and separatly a Samsung ssd to install in said mini. Both are arriving today. What would be the best order in which to upgrade from lion to Mavericks. Since the mini comes with Mavericks freshly on I'm trying to figure out how to preserve that freshness although since I would be starting off with coming from a time machine backup is that even possible. So... What order should I do all this
1. Should I clone the minis hd to the ssd first then restore from the time machine backup
Or
2. Fire up the mini first restoring from the TM Backup then clone the ssd
Lastly if I am coming from and old OS to new one on a new machine will It upgrade at the same time it takes the TM Backup or will it just restore to the TM backup of lion then I'll have to reinstall Mavericks
Thanks all

The way I did it was to fire up first and use TM to migrate my old files to be sure all is working correctly. Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the HD to my SSD mounted externally. Then I option booted from the external SSD to be sure all was OK. Then I swapped out the drives internally.

[pavillon dv6 1200sl] Upgrade with SSD 256GB

Hi all,
i have this notebook pavillon dv6 1200sl [ bit.ly/1b4DvNz ] from many year, now is the time to make an upgrade!
I'd like to change the HDD with a new SSD drive.. what kind of disc can I buy?
Any suggestion will be really apprecieted

I would not recommend an SSD you could not use. And the driver Manual shows step by step how to install a new hard drive. If the computer is running fine then, in Windows, use the HP Recovery Manager to burn restore DVDs and use them to reinstall software on the SSD when you get it. Go ahead and make the recovery DVD(s) and order the SSD and let us know when you are ready to proceed. If you have a storage disk I can also suggest making a Windows Easy Transfer Archive in order to transfer files and settings after you get Windows reinstalled on the SSD. It is also possible to do an exact disk clone to make the SSD work just like the existing drive, but that will take extra software and hardware.

Hi S...!
I have a GE60 2OC and I have upgradet with 2 mSATA Plextor m5m ssd's and up to 16GB ram. I do not know if what I did will be good for you, but you can read what I did here:

at least I hope you will be more clever after you have read what I have been through! But now my nb i working fantastic and really very very fast.
Good luck

That's great! I had no idea the GE's actually supported dual mSATA's. Either way, your thread is a good way to see all that info. Thanks again, I'll have to keep that thread in mind going forward.

Go with Crucial RAM - competitive price and top quality:
http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
RAM is especially important if you're switching between applications, or have lots of desktop pulldown menus.
Crucial M4 is fast and reliable; I have it installed on my MBP. The Samsung and Plextor are equally reliable and well received. Although these are very good quality, it's good to have a long warranty.

How install premiere cs6 upgrade with premiere cs3 installed and not recognized

I have a Windows 7 integrale 64bits computer.
I installed Premiere pro CS3 (upgrade from cs2)
It run OK but refused activation (the Adobe Support told me this is due to CS3 uncompatibility with Windows 7).
Then I tried to install Premiere C6 as upgrade from CS3.
But the install program doesn't recognize the CS3 previous install and asks for old serial number. I check "upgrade from cs3" then enter the previous CS3 serial number. CS6 install refuses it. So I can't install it.Thanks for help.

Premiere never "looks" for an older version on the system when installing an upgrade, and in fact, the best thing to do is completely uninstall any old version before upgrading. Also, you should run the "Adobe Cleaner" utility to remove any remnants of old software before new install. Only an older serial is needed for an upgrade, but of course must meet version requirements.

If you cannot get Premiere to install, please contact Adobe support as recommended
Thanks

Cm1312nfi mfp on 32bit windows 7 - upgraded with full solution sw and can't scan from printer

I have had a cm1312nfi mrp since 2009 that works fine but my HP Solution centre stopped giving me ink levels.
I uninstalled the printer software and downloded the current full solution sw for 32 bit windows 7 from HP. The printer works but I did not 'get' HP solution centre back and so cannot scan from the printer.
[I did download HP toolbox so I can see ink levels and can test the scan function which does work. However it does not have the ocr capabiltity which I had before and also it doesn't allow me to operate the scanner from the printer.]
Can you help me either get HP solution Centre back and functioning on my computer or else suggest some other solution to my problem?

Hi,
The HP Solution Center is a software for inkjet printers as the HP Officejet product line, not for laserjet printers as the CM1312.
You may find the Supplies status within the HPToolboxFX softwre by selecting Supplies:
