HP/Compaq :: Upgrading Envy 15 (Gen 1) To ATI 5830 And USB3.0
Apr 28, 2010I am thinking a bit later on this year of perhaps upgrading my Envy, as I would love to get USB3.0 and a bit more power on the gaming side would be great.
Not wanting to fork out the money for a brand new one, I thought I might possibly be able to upgrade just the motherboard to the current model (i7 version), which would include the USB3 and 5830 graphics... and would cost me quite a bit less (my current specs are in signature)
I just want to know if that would be possible? I assume that all the other parts are pretty much interchangeable, and from what I can see there were no significant changes to the chassis or anything else from Gen 1 to Gen 2....
HP/Compaq :: Dv8t Ever Going To Get HD 5870
Mar 2, 2010is there any chance or news or rumor of the dv8t or perhaps even a new model/series that would get the HD 5870 Graphics Card? This notebook is excellent & is running all other latest specs .... but the GPU option absolutely sucks! A complete deal breaker.

Feb 15, 2010On notebookcheck, 5830 on Hp Envy is higher than 230M but I saw Ati 5830 is bad.
I have used 230M on DV6 i7 and it is good to play Call of Duty 6.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSony :: May Be Swapping My Z90 For The HP 2530p
Apr 27, 2009I love my VGN-Z90NS (weight, form factor, power, RAIDed drives), but the lack of virtualization support (that is, Sony's disabling of the VT-x feature in BIOS/EFI so you can't run 64-bit guests) is starting to cut into what I need to do for my day job.
I've been looking arund for something relatively equivalent and looked at a bunch of options which were close in terms of the spec of the Z as well as size and weight (under 4lbs). For those who care, those are:
Hewlett Packard 2530p
Lenovo Thinkpad X200
Lenovo Thinkpad X200s
Lenovo Thinkpad X301
Toshiba Portege R600
I love the size/weight of the R600, but I've had my share of underpowered notebooks (even though max memory is 5GB, not just 4GB) and it's not as easy to change out the hard drive (technically voids the warranty). I've configured various Lenovos, but I really want the optical drive internal which means the X200 series is out, and I didn't like the overall look of the X301, plus for that, I'd rather get the R600 which is smaller and lighter and better looking. Not all of the Lenovo laptops offer a 9-cell (if I need it; I have one for the Z), and the Toshiba does not. A latecomer to the game was the 2530p, which is under 4lbs, can go up to 8GB of memory (and being PC2-6400, it's cheaper).
Apple :: Swapping Processors From HP To An MBP
May 14, 2010I have a spare Intel Core i7-720QM from an HP DV notebook laying around. I've done processor swapping in different systems before so im no noob at it, such as replacing a quad core Q9000 for a quad core extreme QX9300.
I was thinking about getting the new 15 inch MBP with the Core i7-620M and swapping the processors, putting in my Core i7-720QM.
Is it possible? Or are they soldered to the board? Or is it through sockets?
Dell :: Swapping Parts For Xps 1640
Jan 27, 2010I just purchased a refurb XPS 1640. Its got pretty good specs for the price. P8700, 4670, 16" RGB 1080p., 4GB, 320 HD. The things it seems to be lacking are:
1. Backlit keyboard??? I assumed these were standard. Am I wrong?
2. Bluetooth
3. Slot loading DVD. It appears to be a tray system???
I love all the other specs on this system and I'm super excited about the screen. I plan on getting an aftermarket bluray drive. So, my question is can I upgrade all of these things on my own? Is the keyboard swappable with a backlit one? Can I add the internal bluetooth card? and can I replace the non-slot loading DVD drive with a slot-loading bluray drive??? Parts seem to be readily available on ebay.
Sony :: Vaio TZ Dual Hard Drive Swapping
Feb 11, 2009Just pulled the trigger on a Vaio VGNTZ290NDB for $1,439 on clearance from Sony Style.
Seems like a nice unit.
Question:
This unit comes with a 64GB SSD (1.8" PATA) and a 250GB HDD (2.5" SATA).
Given the age of the model line, I'm assuming that the PATA SSD is not of the same performance level as the new SATA SSDs, e.g., Intel X25-M.
Would it be simple enough to put in an X25-M in place of the 250GB HDD and then make it the boot drive? Or is the system limited to booting from the PATA SSD?
A dual SSD ultraportable would be... well... sweet.
Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga S Series :: S430 - Swapping Out Optical Drive For HDD?
Aug 8, 2012I just ordered myself an S430 with a 128gb SSD HDD included. I didn't see an option to replace the optical drive with a secondary HDD (e.g. a 500gb) so have the optical drive in as standard. Now, I would have rather changed this out for a secondary HDD or for a Blu-Ray drive, thinking I could do this myself once bought...Looking at other posts it looks like you can swap out the optical drive for a Blu-Ray drive, although I would preferably get a secondary drive over the Blu-Ray, but I'm hesitant over a few things:
Â
Is this possible to do myself (swapping out for either secondary HDD or blu-ray drive) without voiding the warranty? (I got it with 2 year warranty). Is it actually possible to do at all? (swapping out for a secondary HDD)....

Jan 8, 2013I got a thinkpad w530 with Windowd 8 from the factory and its ultrabay worked really well. I use a few SSDs in the ultrabay and used to swap through them by just ejecting the one currently in use and plugging in another one. However, since Wondows 8.1 update I haven.t been able to do so, as I have to turn off the machine and change the drives.
Â
I believe it has something to do with the OS set up. How to enable the hot swapping capability of the ultrabay?

HP/Compaq :: Envy 14 Or 15
May 28, 2010I'm shopping for laptops right now and I'm pretty much stuck between these two. My main question for the 14 is will it be able to do full hd? I know 1920x1080 is a bit much to ask for on a 14.5" screen but I haven't been able to find a solid answer for this question. The 14 has more features and the internal cd drive is a plus, but not a dealbreaker for the 15 since the cd drive isn't used too much. Taking out price, which one would be a better buy?

Feb 13, 2010I have a couple of questions about the Envy v2. I'm certain the answers are somewhere in the massive owner's thread but it's way too long to want to go through at this point.
My questions are:
1) Audio quality of external speakers. Is there enough bass in them? Do they sound "tin-y"?
2) Noise from the fan when the GPU is in high use. How loud is the fan? Has anyone put a decibel meter to it?
3) Temp of the GPU. My Studio 15 is hitting a high of 70c when running and was wondering how the newer ATI is.
HP/Compaq :: HP Envy 15 G2
Apr 11, 2010The first I heard about the Envy line was that it was a gorgeous laptop with a great display and above-average speakers. However, it was fundamentally flawed with a horrible trackpad and overheating issues(present in the 13, but further aggravated in the 15). After the spectacular fail of a release, I dropped the Envy out of consideration.
To the present, I've recently started looking at a huge array of laptops and have taken the Envy into consideration again. From what I've heard, the Envy 15 is in its second generation(I need a full-HD laptop and won't be considering the Envy 13). It now comes equipped with a i5 processor and the HD5830.............

Feb 20, 2010I have been reading about the Envy 15 (as I'm getting closer to buying it). However, one thing that concerns me is regarding the temperatures.
So, how hot does it get?
Most likely, I'll be getting the dual SSD rig. For anyone who owns that, how hot does it get for you?
My setup is looking like the i7-820, 8GB RAM, 5830, dual-SSD. I have thought about going to the 16GB RAM option as well, though I doubt I need it.
