Quick note, In addition to having better specs overall, I want to point out one "hidden" aspect of the DV7 series. They are equipped to house two hard drives at once. You may need to buy a cable and mounting kit for it, but if you find...

Hi ChrisDead, Welcome to the forum! I'm glad the information could serve to help save you some hassle in the upgrades. Depending on your motherboard, the T1350 may indeed be your only option. You could always try and upgrade the...

Hello all, Stop being so active while I'm at class! Heheheh On the speaker issue: I have never heard of upgrades. Honestly, I LOVE the speaker system in my C500 and it's one of the reasons I keep it around. Every laptop I've had since...

C500 Fan, That sounds like an excellent plan. I have worn the touch pad on my DV9700 down the same way, so I know where you're coming from on that. I have to agree on the hard drive swap. Ever since my old Dell Inspiron 5150 (I was one...

QHN and Saugen48, Thanks! To answer your questions: I LOVE my little pocket knives. They're not QUITE all in one, as I have to have two separate ones to fill all the uses. The one pictured is by far my most used. The little phillips...
