Could you help me chose my new Laptop?

This is what is contained within the Portege R700-185 and why a special connector is necessary to upgrade to a different kind of SSD.

however the OP has stated that his his a R700-182 ,(sorry , just seen you spotted that) I think your picis of the (stripped down) evo are confusing him


OP you want a std SSD drive , it will look like this

No, you are the one who is confused.

My recommendation is for the Samsung EVO 850 and I created a direct purchase link.. The 250GB model was settled on.

The OP came back suggesting that there is a second bay. I suggested that if there is a second bay it was more likely for mSATA, hence my picture. Subsequently, I discovered that Toshiba use an SSD similar to mSATA(but not fitting the mSATA specification).

I have reiterated many times as to what the OP should utilise. The only one confused by my posts is you. The OP is confusing themself....but that is another story.

Posts #27(if you want to bother with extra RAM) & # 37. Use the YouTube video as a guide. That's it.

Hi all. I have opened the beast and taken pictures of my HDD hideaway and RAM slots.

Mr_Warren_2

I am now formulating my questions slightly differently:



a) If adding an SSD mean removing the HDD ..... Do I really need it? Previous comments say "not really". Thanks for confirming.
b) increasing my RAM (as per links provided thank you) will improve my processing. Happy to do that myself.
c) Where can I get Windows 7 Pro 64 bits ? Will I be able to use my existing Windows 7 Pro original code to make it work?
d) Upgrading to Office 2010 or 2013 will allow me to "translate" all my Office 365 Emails into Outlook. Yes?
e) Which of the 2 Offices would you recommend ? Thanks all, your help is much appreciated.

Yes, change the HDD for SSD.
Increase the RAM later, if you want to do so after changing the HDD.
You already have the disc, I sent it to you previously.
You are just going over the same things that have already been explained to you...then you go off on another tangent.

Refer to #75.
