hey guys im thinking of upgrading the ram on my dell inspiron 15R Turbo (7520)
it already has the stock 4gb ram which came with the system
my question is ,how do i choose the correct 4gb ram for the 2nd slot so i get a total of 8gb
people recommended the corsair value select 4gb 1600mhz but im scared of ending up with the wrong ram
does anyone have a guide to select the correct ram or something

i bought this laptop hp15 goo9ax--Error 500 Server Error

where would i find complete set of drivers for my this laptop for windows 7 64 bit?
i have searched the hp forums a bit and found that this laptop's drivers would work on mine- Software & driver downloads HP 15-g030au Notebook PC | HP® Support.


But drivers for audio,chipset and touchpad are not given for windows 7 64 bit while they are given for windows 8.1?? please solve this problem ASAP.

thank you !

I think those drivers will auto install [ or you need to have a working internet connection on the laptop to let windows install drivers fro you ] .. besides you can get HD audio driver from Realtek and chipset driver from Intel website.

^ I'd recommend this laptop: Error 500 Server Error

Although it's 1.5k~ above budget, the Core i5 processor and even the discrete graphics will help you while using CAD, etc.

^^ You will only get the standard 1 year warranty IMO. What will you be using the laptop for? If normal everyday usage/office work then both will work fine.

1) Anybody know a good screen calibration place in Nehru place?

2) What's the status of SSD warranties in India? They are easily 20-40% cheaper in the US, and I'd rather buy it there than here.

Microsoft Windows 7 Drivers for ASUS X552EA-SX006D

A teammate of mine has placed an online order for the ASUS X552EA-SX006D laptop, Notebooks & Ultrabooks - X552EA - ASUS. Considering the default operating system is DOS, my teammate has the liberty to install the operating system of his choice/preference, and he is inclined towards Microsoft Windows 7 due to prior and current experience with the said platform.

Unfortunately, ASUS India website's support link, Notebooks & Ultrabooks - X552EA - ASUS lists drivers for Microsoft Windows 8 and 8.1, but not for Microsoft Windows 7. Would the default/inbuilt drivers within Windows 7 suffice, or should he look at alternatives such as Sam Drivers?

The battery of my Dell Studio 14 is not charging more than 48%. Does that means it's gone for a toss?

If that's the case which online site can I buy a new battery from?
