If i buy a laptop is it possible to upgrade the RAM and the Hard Drive.?



Answers:
I work for PC World in the UK..If you are looking to buy a new laptop and upgrade it, it may be more cost effective to see if you can just buy a higher spec machine than upgrade the hard drive..It can be expensive to get and install the new hard drive than to just buy a machine with that bigger hard drive. Upgrading RAM is no problem, just research the exact upgrade you need from the laptop manufacturer's website so you can find out your maximum upgrade and relevant prices before you purchase. Alternatively, if the extra hard drive space on the laptop is just to serve as backup space, consider an external hard drive. That way you have all the files you need in a safe place in case something happens to your laptop and its cheaper than the upgrade.
Yes you can, but usually it costs more than a similar upgrade on a desktop pc.
You should be able to upgrade the RAM, there is usually an empty slot for an extra RAM card.
Hard-drive? They tend to only have 1 bay, so it's a case of replacing, you probably won't be able to have more than 1 drive in there, but you certainly can replace the disk with a larger one.
yes it is
Upgrading RAM is sensible and cost effective but if already you're thinking of extra capacity Hard Drive, I would suggest going for higher spec laptop in the first place.
Yes but you would need to take it to a shop so they could tell you which one's are avilable for that model..
