HP ENVY Touchsmart m6-n010dx RAM and SSD/WiFi card help!!

My HP laptop is about 8 months old and it gets the job done but like any windows computer it slows down over time. The CPU is great, but the RAM is eh and slow. I want to upgrade the ram but everywhere I look it says the RAM is NONexpandable, But on here an employee wrote to someone with the same model laptop that it will support 16GB. Can I get confirmation? My system is the 64 bit. 
The RAM they say to use is PC3-1600, is this the only speed or is there something faster? 
I also want to replace my factory HDD with a Samsung 850 PRO SSD 512GB (will be loaded with Linux Mint 64bit on live USB)

  • Upgrading RAM and SSD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009

    Hey,
    I want to upgrade RAM and SSD on my macbook pro, identifier 5,3, and I want to make sure the parts I picked will be compatible with my Macbook.
    I'm specifically not sure about its support of 512GB.
    I thought about RAM:

    Thanks!

    Check this out:

    Once you think you've done it correctly restart and hold down the option key or go to "System Preferences" under the Apple and look at "Startup Disk".
    That will tell which Disks are bootable.
    Now about that Crucial drive:

    I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty.  It is probably in the small print.  I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
    Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off.  However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
    However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
    Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

  • U400 - adding ram and SSD

    Is it possible to add ram and SSD to the U400 by user or if it can only be done by service? I would really want to have 8Gb of ram and the SSD but there is no available model with such config at the moment.

    My user-upgrade experience is not good.   Most of this is user (my) error, there is nothing wrong with the way the machine was supplied from Lenovo.
    I found a YouTube video about cracking the case open and that is what I did, cracked the mount fittings in the front of the case.  I got it back together but the front edge is not as secure as it should be.
    If you decide to open the case, make sure you SLIDE, don't pry or lift the bottom off after removing the 2 feet screws at the back.
    Second bummer is the hard drive is right next to the USB3 port.  Everything fits fine w/ the supplied hard drive because the case is slightly recessed on a normal (spinning) disk.  On the SSDs I've purchased, the case is the full rectangular size and doesn't fit in opening.  I had to hack into the surround of the SSD to make it fit.
    Needless to say, I hope I don't need warranty support on the machine or drive.

  • T400 rams and ssd compatibility

    Hi all
    I am planing to upgrade the ram and hdd for my laptop lenovo t400 .
    Could u pls help me to know what is the ram and ssd that compatible with lenovo t400 ??
    Note : i tried to upgrade the ram for lenovo t400 with bus 1333 pc-10600 but that not work .
    Kindly advice .
    Regards
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    RAM = 1066 mhz 204 pin SODIMM DDR3 (although faster ram is also possible, so 1333 mhz and 1666 mhz DDR3 is also okay). But don't use Corsair ram to avoid incompatibility issues.
    SSD = SATAII (Although SATAIII is also backward compatible), 2.5 inch, 9.5/7 mm thick drives.

    Please help.

    Hi,
    Your machine currently has 4Gb of RAM:
        http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03325481
    It supports 8Gb max. CPU-Z (SPD tab) should show you RAM information including brand. You can work out what do you need using that information. My suggestion: use information on the SPD tab INCLUDING brand.

  • Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

    Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

    How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • M6-n010dx RAM and HDD upgrade

    Hello,
    i was thinking of upgrading the RAM and HDD of my laptop but was not sure if the products i selected are compatible.
    My concerns arise from the fact that the n010dx has AMD processors.
    If someone would confirm that the chosen parts are compatible, it would be great.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions. No questions are too basic, as we all have to start somewhere.
    Emac models are best differentiated by the CPU speed.
    You can go to the Menu item  About this Mac will tell you the CPU speed.
    From what you have said it sounds like a later model eMac.
    is there some kind of issue that arises when one installs more than 1gb?
    No, it is just that when these eMacs came out the highest RAM module made at the 333 Mhz speed was 512Mb. Later the manufacturers made 1Ghz modules, thus doubling the capacity from the original specifications. Keep in mind there are two slots for these modules. 1Ghz X 2 = 2 Ghz maximum.
    Also, I have noticed that my apple is quite noisy; whilst it doesn't sound like a worringly noisy computer, how much noise of this is due to the harddrive?
    None of it is due to the hard drive. Hard drive noise is intermittent and barely noticeable. The noise is the roaring of the fan. eMacs are notable for their robust and noisy fan.
    Replacing the hard disk in an eMac requires quite some dissassembly.
    Someone else may post disassembly links as I my old ones don't work anymore, and you may also get more detail about your RAM questions.

  • Should I keep my MacBook Pro or exchange it for more Ram and SSD space?

    Hello,
    I decided to purchase a MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display. I thought I would just bite the bullet and get it with the upgraded 16gb Ram and 512 SSD as I want this computer to last me at least 5 years. I don't know exactly what I will be using it for but potentially I will be running a small business with it as well as using it for photos, some videos and all the other things we all use everyday. This brought the total price tag up to about $2900 before tax. Way more than I wanted to spend, but again, I plan on this being my last computer purchase for at least 5 years...and this would be my only computer...not a secondary one but the primary one.
    As I was asking the guy in Best Buy about any sales or discounts, he mentioned a MacBook Pro with retina display that was just retuned to the store by a lady that decided to go with a MacBook Air instead.  It had been opened but not used and was in perfect condition. The sales manager said he could sell that one to me for $470 off the normal price. The problem was, it was the base model and only had 8gb Ram and 256gb SSD storage. So, I had the option of buying the computer I wanted...that I know would last me for years and years, for $2,900 OR buy the base model for $1,729. What would you do?
    I decided to buy the base model as it was just to good a deal to pass up. Now, 2 days later, I don't know if I made the right decision. I know that 256gb of memory is not going to last me very long...especially considering how much more space modern software takes up nowadays...and its only getting worse. My solution is to just buy an external hard drive and store everything I don't immediately need on it. But I don't know if I'm being realistic as maybe it will be a major pain to constantly have to carry around an extra storage device. Then again, even if I had the 512 SSD model MacBook, I would still eventually run out of space and need an external drive. Has anyone else relied on an external device for their daily computing needs? Is it a major nuisance or easy to get by with?
    My bigger concern is that it only has 8gb of Ram and can NOT be upgraded in the future. 8gb ram is fine right now, especially with the flash drive and i7 quad core processor, but in a couple years, I'm afraid  it won't be enough and that ill be forced to purchase another computer. The sales manager said that because its a Mac and because of the "monster processor" that the 8gb of Ram will be more than enough for years to come. According to him, Macs require less Ram than PC's due to their operating system being much more efficient. (This is my first Mac so I'm a bit unfamiliar)
    So this is my dellima, should I return the base model and buy the one I originally wanted or should I make do with the base model and be thankful for the great deal I was able to get?
    Will the 8gb of Ram be enough in a few years? I realize that depends on what I'm using the computer for but, since I'm not sure what my needs will be in the next year, lets assume I'll be using it to run a small business as well as the typical storage of pictures and home videos, etc.
    Bottom line, will the 8gb of ram be enough to prevent the need to buy another computer for another 5 years or so or do I need to suck it up, return the base model, pay the extra $1,100 and get the 16gb of ram I originally wanted?
    Sorry for the long story, I just need some solid advice as money is tight and I want to make the right decision. I'd rather pay $1,100 extra now and not need to buy a new computer for 5-6 years than save the money now but have to buy a whole new computer in 1-2 years.  If however, the 8gb ram will still make for a solid computer in a few years, I will gladly save the money.
    Thanks in advance for your help. ;-)

    Generally (and in my opinion):
    1) do not buy any computer you cannot replace the hard drive and the RAM in.
    2) do NOT (EVER, EVER, EVER) purchase RAM or expended hard drive from any vendor (like Apple, Dell, etc).  they mark up the RAM
    purchase the lowest machine that will work for you and upgrade the RAM and hard drive down the road.    Just look at the price Apple charges for the upgrade from 4GB to 8 GB:
    Apple is charging the (4GB RAM + $100) for the 8GB upgrade.  You can easily get 8GB for $100.  later you should be able to get 8GB for $60.
    Same thing for the hard drives:
    Applis charging the price of (500GB + $100) for the 750GB drive.  I just bought a 750GB notebook drive for $99
    I, personally, would return the retina notebook for a MacBookPro that you can upgrade the hd and ram

  • HP ENVY TouchSmart 4 Ultrabook - Sound and Video Lags and Distortions

    This issue has been previously reported and noted as solved, but it is not solved. See the link to the other post below.
    Ways in which I attempted to address this myself...
    I first re-installed all drivers and updates, including BIOS updates. After that didn't fix the problem, I did a full wipe/re-install of windows 8, and again, updated all drivers from the HP website. This issue happens on both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I then did an exchange, and even the new exchange ultrabook is experiencing this issue. HP technicians, there is something faulty with this device. Please acknowledge and address ASAP.

  • What RAM and SSDs will go in a Mac Mini? ...

    Getting ready to snag a new Mac Mini after the announcement tomorrow.
    Assuming the new ones accept the same RAM and HDs and the existing ones ...
    What kinds/sizes of RAM go in the Mini?
    What kind of SSD specs will fit in the Mini?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    Chris

    That is just what is in the rumor mill.  Would really
    be suprised to see the Mini updated before the iMacs.
    Not the usual path.  But perhaps an iMac refresh will
    be announced as well.  Need to wait and see what
    really is going to happen.
    If a refresh is announced, it could be a while before
    it is available.
    As a note, the recently updated Macbook Pros use
    DDR3 1600 RAM where the previous versions and
    the current Minis use DDR3 1333.  So, one would
    suspect that a new Mini or iMac would be using the
    faster RAM.

  • Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

    I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD.  I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly.  I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance.  I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads.  I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model.  I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive.  (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs).  Thanks very much!

    Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
    After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
    Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
    As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

  • DVD Rom, RAM, and SSD question(s)

    I purchased a nice T400 (6475-B14) on Ebay and I have upgraded a number of items on it to get it to where I want it.
    I upgraded the OS to W7 Pro, put in a Lenovo 4GB RAM stick (now I have a 4GB and a 2GB), and I swapped out the HDD for an Intel X-25 G2 80GB SSD.
    90% of the time the machine is great, however I have run into a few problems and I'm really hoping that someone here can help me.
    The first issue, is the fact that every once in a while the machine can't start.  I end up having to restore the machine using R&R.  I don't know what could be the issue.  I've replaced the OS and HDD so I'm not sure what to do next.  I am by no means a computer expert, but could the mis-matched RAM (1X4GB with 1X2GB) be causing the problem?  I don't mind getting another 4GB stick, but if it won't do anything to fix the issue I don't want to waste the money.
    Number two, I'm trying to burn an image recovery disk, but according to the Nero Tool I can't write with my drive (HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N).  Do I need additional software?  I find it hard to believe that Lenovo would include a drive that only reads and is not capable of writing on DVD or CD, but based on the searches I've done on this forum and others, I can't find any other answer. 
    Lastly, the SSD seems to be working great (I've only had to restore the system once since installing it, see issue number one), but I see in the Lenovo download site there is an ISO file for SSD's.  However since I can't burn a DVD, I can't burn the ISO file.  So my question(s) is/are do I really need the software?  Can I use my Apple Mac Pro at home to burn the ISO file and then use that disk to install the software?
    Sorry for the long, rambling questions, but I have tried to search a number of forums and the internet in general and I haven't been able find the answers.
    Thanks!

    hello mate,
    For your first issue the RAM can be the problem. U can mix different size of RAM but make sure to use DDR3 PC3-8500 or DDR3 PC3-10600 memory. And also the T400 does not support ECC be careful to don't mix ECC and non ECC memory.
    For your second question your HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N is just a DVD ROM reader and it's not capable to write any CD or DVD.
    I don't know about the software for your SSD but if it's an ISO file for windows you can burn it with a mac it won't make a difference. All discs burned on the Mac work across platforms.
    Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

  • Upgrade 2009 base line Mac Mini with aftermarket RAM and SSD!

    Hello people,
    I'm looking to buy a 2009 Mac Mini (base line, 120GB hdd and 1GB of RAM) and was looking to upgrade it with aftermarket RAM (http://corsair.com/products/mac/default.aspx ) to 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair and with an Intel X25-M SSD, most probably an 80GB drive.
    And now comes my question: Based on your experience do you know a better match of aftermarket memmory and SSDs with the Mac Mini?!
    Also i've read that using an Intel SSD X-25M to hook up an Windows XP machine (either bootcamp or VM) is impossible since Windows XP doesn't recognize the SSD. Is this correct? (I need XP in VMware to access an old app that's windows based only, and NO wine sadly doesn't work).
    Thank you,
    Andrei

    Well, the big drawback on the Minis is Intel integrated Graphics.
