Adding RAM to this is as easy as ABC. No screws. Just pull out the back panel, install RAM and close it. Uses DD3.

adding ram is just a piece of cake ... 1stly remove ur battery , then use that switch which u used for removing battery , push that switch in opposite direction , then u can push out that screwless backpanel (plz don't apply much force at a single point or u will broke it ) gently push it out & then add d ram into d empty ram slot .... if u want more help , u can read 'getting started guide ' ( in HP Support assistent -> learn -> user guide -> getting started guide -> maintenence -> adding memory modules )

i hav 6121tx. is their much speed difference when adding ram ? now i hav 4GB Ram
Cheers, will buy that then!
Anyway, I've just got my laptop today and it looks quite good and is functioning very well (so far).
There's quite a bit of software built in by HP that I don't want or need though like HP Connection Manager etc. Is it safe to delete these softwares? What can I delete or uninstall to make the computer quicker?
Like I've mentioned earlier, I will be using this for 3D Modelling and rendering (which I know isn't ideal to use on laptops) but I want to keep the computer as quick as possible for it so any tips for that would be appreciated.
Hi, I think the one sold by Flipkart will have 2 sticks of 2 GB each, so you'll have to change both. Please correct me if I am wrong...

Mine seems to be a 4GB stick as well. It's fast enough for me at the minute, but I will need more RAM once I start work. What is the maximum RAM that can be put in btw?
Also, what in built software can I delete? I don't use any of it apart from the fingerprint software.
Last question, I have heard that you need to configure the graphic card to be switched? Is that the reason why my WEI for graphics is quite low?
Sorry for all the questions, I've never had to configure a laptop before and I have no idea about the hardware side of things.

hp had stated dat ram can b expanded to 16 gb (8+8) bt i don't think so 8 Gb Ram stick is available !!! , u can uninstal hp games , hp connection manager , hp power manager ....
u can also use tune up utilities 2012 for speeding up ur lappy... it disables most of d unwanted programs ....& u can also choose programs needed at startup .... & u can also set turbo mode in it for maximum speed.....
ya u hav 2 update ur bios -> dwnld it from hp site & then switch 2 fixed mode of gfx in d bios .....then choose d high performance in ccc....

Thank you.
I thought there were 4 slots for RAM? Anyway, I think upgrading to 8GB will be enough for the time being for me.

Have noticed +80 in only two games - Black Ops and Arkham city. The temp shoots to 80 degrees when game starts and then falls to 65 degrees. This happens in Performance Mode only not in Coolsense Mode
