Hey Guys,
Well my Macbook Pro just died, hard drive failed after 14 months of little use. I never trusted the little bugger it would always be beach balling and freezing so this is a great excuse to send it on the ebay!
I have just order an M14X and before I even start I am thinking about upgrades, through dell 4GB > 8GB memory upgrade was £90 so I am planning on ordering some Vengeance for £38 . The only hard drive options were the standard 750GB or a 256GB SSD for £190 so a 750GB Hybrid Drive I felt would be a better upgrade as the space will be useful. Then I can put the original drive into the MacBook and sell it for good money.
The Specs with these upgrades will be as follows:
M14X 1.5 Base BLACK Soft Touch
I7 2670QM @2.2ghz, 6mb cache, quad core
GT555M 1.5GB (DDR3 version)
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (8GB SSD)
True life HD+ 1600x900 screen
Win7 64 Home
3.0MP HD webcam
5.1 Integrated Audio
Killer wireless N-1103
I would like to hear any opinions or if I should consider any other components? The laptop has been ordered and I am about to order the ram and hdd. Thanks and here's a sexy pic for you!
