To confirm, the only change to the specs of this laptop would be an upgrade from the usual 5400 RPM to the 7200 RPM?

Hello, Yes the only change to this laptop is the hard drive has been upgraded. Please contact us if you have any other questions. Thank you, Jesse

I got the 7200 rpm 1 tb, Both are hard drives. Your laptop has a mount when you take the old one out. You will need to remove the mount to install the new Hard Drive and put it on the new Disk Drive. I was a very simple process for me however, you need an image of your Operating System to reinstall your (OS).

Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

This is NOT a desktop system. As is the case with nearly all laptops (excluding custom built) the only interchangeable, and therefore upgradeable, components are the battery, hard drive, memory modules (RAM), and the DVD/CD drive. You may be able to overclock the processor for additional speed. I believe the graphics "card" is not a separate component but integral to the system board. The keyboard can normally be REPLACED with the same keyboard if the original becomes defective... same with the display screen, but will not provide added function. In case my info is invalid you should contact HP's tech support for confirmation.

This computer came with only a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive. However, there is an expansion slot for you to add an SSD if you are interested in going that route.

It should work short term, but there might be a concern about putting a 7200RPM drive in a 2006 Macbook Pro. The faster drive might run a little hotter than is good for it. Check your MacBooks specs (use the A-number on the bottom with Mr Google) and find out what it shipped with. If it shipped with a 5400 RPM drive, you might want to stick with that speed just to be safe. If it can handle the heat (also a function of what type of surface you are using it on, ambient temp, and how clean you keep the vents) it will probably be a nice performance upgrade to the OEM drive.

I'm sorry I don't know but as long as all the tech specs. are the same there should be no difference.

Hard drive is only 5400, but Windows boots much faster than I imagined and the laptop comes with 2 drive bays, so you can throw in a SSD in it's SATA 3 port if you wanted.

This model has a SSD (Solid State Drive) which does not have any moving parts and hence does not spin. A SSD is MUCH Faster than a 7200 rpm drive

I did a lot of research on that before purchasing and found out that the 500GB runs at 7200 RPM while the 1GB runs at 5400RPM.Hope that helps!

Depends on the memory you're talking about! The RAM, no. It's soldered right to the mother board, so unless you're a wicked computer magician (and maybe not even then...) that's not happening. The HDD, yes. In fact, I found a nice tutorial about making the switch here: &lt;http://www.durhamcomputerservices.com/theonbutton-blog/asus-vivobook-x202e-s200e-q200e-ssd-hard-drive-upgrade.html&gt;. Looks pretty painless, and having put a SSD in my notebook I'll say that the performance gain is just as noticeable if not more so than upgrading the RAM.

I haven't done that with this laptop, but have swapped a hard drive with an SSD on another HP laptop and it worked great. You just need to get an SSD hard drive that fits in a laptop, most of the more common SSD's do. You also will need to backup and restore the operating system from the existing disk to the new ssd drive.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Unfortunately, I don't know. I bought the laptop for my son and he is off to college with it. I can tell you he is very happy with its speed, size, battery life and weight. You may want to ask your question to the seller.

Very few laptops have a cpu that can be changed. If yours does then look at an i7 if the main board can support it. Changing out an i5 to another i5 isn't going to give you a big enough bump for the hassle of making the change. Hope this helps....

Your computer is: a HP G61-327CL Notebook PC; which has a SATA 7200 rpm drive. Be sure that you get another 7200 rpm drive, (not a 5400 rpm). The 5400 rpm is 25% slower than the 7200 rpm drive that you have. I would suggest going up to a 500-GB 7200 rpm drive - which can be found for under $54.So, my answer would be YES. Caution to get (another 7200 rpm drive) SATA.
