how much memory can i use 15-ac137nr

I bought a hp notebook 15-ac137nr 1st one ever and its so slow when I get on the web it freezes and starts and then jumps and disconnects and it is really slow, it has 6gb of ram on 2 cards, running windows 10 home.  Then I thought I could speed it up with a memory upgrade which is sad since its brand new not a week old.  Should have stuck with dell.  But what is done is done, what memory can I up grade to I currently have a 4GB  Hynix/Hyundai 1600MHz, and a 2GB  Samsung 1600MHz, the instructions on the web site are also so vague when it comes to deciphering what memory I have and what memory I can get, like asking a 2 year for the for the theory of free radicals.  Can someone help

Hello,

I have the following laptop, which I love everything about it; however, seems like the keyboard is damaged and I can't type the following letters on the keyboard:  QWERT or the #'s about these keys.  

I wanted to replace the internal laptop with one of these laptops below, but not sure which one will fit my current laptop.  Here is the laptop I presently have:

http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03484222

I presently have two options that are both HP laptops:


HP 17-s043CL
17.3 Envy Laptop
w/ 4gb graphics card

---------------------------------------------------

HP 15-BA013CL
15.6 Laptop


Will I be able to completely remote the guts from either one of these laptops and place it inside my original laptop?

hardware specifications different from what is specified on the HP site for the same model

bought a new hp laptop 4 days ago, HP 15ay008tx which according to the hp website should have a full HD dislplay of 1920 by 1080 but it has a max display of 1366 by 768 and also as mentioned on the HP website, this laptop should have a 4GB dedicated amd raedon R5 m430 graphic card but it has 2GB of it instead of 4GB.

i even bought it from an HP authorized retail shop as i was satisfied with the product specifications mentioned on the HP site but when i checked it, it is not as it's described on the site.

 

 


Difference between ay007tx and ay008tx

I recently shortlisted a notebook for buying, the HP 15-ay008tx when I found there's another slightly costly variant of it, the HP 15-ay007tx. I read specs of both the notebooks but they were identical. (ay007tx - http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05138543 and ay008tx - http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-15-ay000-notebook-pc-series/10862300/document/c05221062 ) but again I found a difference listed on some sites and this brochure ( http://www.hpshopping.in/Material/PDF/HP%20Notebook%20-%2015-ay008tx.pdf ) that the ay007tx has a 1920*1080p display whereas the ay008tx has a 1366*768p display.
Is this this the reason why the ay007tx is slightly more expensive than the ay008tx?
Is this the only difference?
Can someone clarify this to me?

Can I upgrade RAM in HP Envy DV7 7255 DX

$

I have an HP Envy DV7 7255 DX, and I'm looking to updrade the amount of RAM substantially. I'm not sure if I can even upgrade it, and if I can upgrade, how much more I can put in. Here are the curent specs:


Notebook Product #: C6N73UA#ABA

 

Curent RAM: 6gb DDR3 SDRAM (2 DIMM)

Slot 1: 2GB  Samsung 1600MHz

Slot 2: 4GB  Samsung 1600MHz

 

I would like to, at the very minimum, replace the current 2 gb stick with a 4gb (the same as the current 4gb in there), to have a total of 8gb. I would also consider though, replacing both slots with 8gb sticks for a total of 16gb. It looks like my operating system is fine with that, just not sure if the mother board would be able to use it. (IE: I dont want to put in more than can be used, and just waste the money on it, if 8gb is the max).

 

I recently installed Avid editing software and it says I need a minimum of 8gb to make it run effeciently. I also have Virtual PC installed to run a shadow XP drive for old software I still use, and I've noticed a significant lag in everything done in windows 8.1 while Virtual drive is concurrently running. I suspect it might be also related to not enough RAM.

 

Bottom line: Is it possible to upgrage the amount of RAM, and if so, how much can I upgrade it? Thanks in advance for your help.   Smiley Happy

Keyboard Backlight stopped working after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10 on hp envy 15 Notebook

I bought this hp 15t notebook in Nov 2014. I upgraded the Operating System to WIndows 10 when it was released. Since then, the backlight on the keyboard is not working. I have viewed all the forums and none provided a resolution for this. I could see that the keyboard driver is uptodate. There are no other problems with the keyboard. Is there a solution to this issue ?

Travel Keyboard Not Working - Elite X2 1012

I have an Elite X2 1012 and the travel keyboard has stopped working. It just completely stopped working one day. I went out and bought a new one, but it does not work also. Now I am at a loss. Any ideas?

 

If I plug in a wireless keyboard and mouse it works fine. The on screen keyboard works. But the most important travel keyboard does nothing. The only way I can even tell it is alive is by pressing the "caps lock" key repeatedly and the light on that key flashes for a brief moment. But that is it.

Broken Cooling Fan

I have had my HP 15.6" laptop since June of 2016. Over the last 2 weeks, the laptops performance has decreased SUBSTANSIALLY to the point where I will wait 1-5 minutes to load an email attachment. Tonight on 8/23/16, my computer shutdown unexpectedly and when I went to restart it, it said that my cooling fan is not working and I risk major damage if I use it with this problem. I start school in a week and I NEED A LAPTOP! I've barely had this laptop for 2 months and it's already having MAJOR issues. I need answers and help ASAP.

Upgrade the HDD

$

I bought my Envy t-17 last November. I had initially ordered it with a 4TB HDD. When it arrived I discovered that there was only a 2TB HDD installed. After talking to HP they gave me a small refund left it at that.

 

I had a problem with the laptop initially (after about 15 min online the speed cut down to almost nothing) and called HP support a couple of times (didn't help) I also called my ISP (no problems there since my tablet had blazing speed online), and I checked my router, also no problems.

 

Due to travel and work I didn't get to use it much and when I did, I had to contend with slow internet.

 

Finally (about 3 weeks ago) took it to a PC repair place and they ran some software and cleaned up the drive, then informed me that there were some damaged sectors on the HDD. They let me know that I could either have them do the ordering of a new HDD and installatioin or check with HP first. Since the laptop is still under warranty, I decided to get in touch with HP. Unfortunately work has prevented me from contacting HP until now.

 

I need to get the HDD replaced and decided to get it upgraded (2TB to 4TB) at the same time. What is the procedure to get this done?

 

 

Thanks

 

Which parts are upgradeable? I also need various tips(Chromebook 11-2201nq)

Hello, people!

 

TL;DR ->Can I upgrade its ram and SSD? Apparently the SSD's an eMMC and I fear that it's onboard, which I can't do anything about. I also read on the HP website that the RAM's onboard, but on another page for the same product's specifications, it says that it isn't.(Of course, in a different language)

I just want a definite answer: Are RAM and SSD upgradeable?

 

If not, what can I do to improve the laptop's performance within the given specs? The most I could to was enable swap memory and increase the laptop's capacity by inserting a 32GB SD Card, but the laptop still seems to move relatively slow once it hits the memory cap. If there's anything you can suggest to improve performance, please let me know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I've recently got my hands on a HP Chromebook 11-2201nq and I love its portability, design, screen and battery life. As I don't like the simplicity and lack of functionality of the ChromeOS, I enabled Dev mode and used Crouton to install a Unity-interfaced Trusty Ubuntu on it. Problem is, once ubuntu is mounted and running, the equipped 2GB of ram doesn't seem to keep up too much(It's at 60-70% while idle). 

Even though the guy's tiny, the Intel N2840 can handle older games and apps and I'd like to use the laptop to its full potential using linux(Of course, I hate the lack of functionality of the ChromeOS but I love its speed and accesibility, I just want to make it less dependant on an internet connection)
