Thanks for the links, I'll have to see if there's anything suspicious when the computer comes in. I'll see if I can find a way to disable or remove it if there is.
I think this will be the end result, I just pulled the trigger on a new Lenovo i7 laptop so I'll dump the contents of the HP to the new notebook. The hp will get formatted with a fresh install of windows on the 120 SSD and I'll use it as a programming computer for work.
Thanks to everyone...
Good info, thank you. That PDF has good info, and it's a very similar model to my dv6, but mine doesn't have the number key pad. I guess the drive could be 9.5, next time I pull the access cover I'll take a closer look
As far as my needs, I would say best price and reliability are my needs...
copy that, yeah I had the drive out a few days ago I think 7.5mm is as big as I can fit.
I am in the market for a new laptop, I guess I could replace my 120gig ssd in the desktop and toss it in the laptop and use it as a backup machine for work... storage would no longer be in issue if it...
I might have been mistaken on the $140 price, I did a 1tb ssd seach on the googles but I think it might have yielded a non-ssd in the search results.
ok, so a standard 2.5" SSD will work in both laptop and desktop applications?
so I was into computers when IDE was the norm and SCSI was the cool extreme thing to have.
So I'm a little new to SSD, I have a small 120gig Kingston in my desktop running OS, but aside from that I don't know how to tell a cheap one from a good one. I know SSD prices are falling, and I think...
Looking at purchasing a new laptop and the Lenovo Y40-80 caught my eye.
i7-5500U Dual-Core Processor (2.40GHz 1600MHz 4MB)
AMD Radeon R9 M275 2GB
8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600 MHz
14.0" FHD LED AntiGlare (1920x1080)
1TB 5400 rpm
Price seems decent, I would primarily use it as a work...
