  • In this video I will show you the upgrades I preformed on my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop computer. I installed a Silicone power 120gb Solid State Drive, 8gb of RAM, and a fresh install of Windows 10. We will see if these really made any difference using the windows experience index and testing out some programs. The upgrades were definitely worth it! The boot time is incredible and programs open in just a few seconds.
    Check out the SSD overview here: • Silicon Power 120GB S6...

    My father have same this laptop and he consider it as a trash. Most of the time he want to punch the laptop.
    I took it and upgrade HDD to kingstone SSD and upgrade RAM 2GB to 8GB DDR3 + putting a secondary HDD.
    Now I run windows 10 pro + Kali Linux.
    it's become a very powerful laptop, booting in 6 seconds!!
    I'm very satisfied and highly recommend to run SSD in your PC.
    If your PC support NVMe SSD it's will be better than regular SSD and go for it.

    I dug one of those out of the garbage. 3rdGen i3, 4gb/ram, no HDD, broken keyboard. Now it has SanDisk Ultra II 256gb SSD, 8gb/RAM, and new keyboard. Quick and snappy!

    Some comments about the Dell Inspiron 15 series. I got a 15 with 8 gigs of ram and a 1TB mechanical drive, which i want to update to 16 gig and go down to a 565 SSD. It is not a speed demon now, before the upgrades, and Intel HD graphics are poor, especially running SL in either Win 10 or Ubuntu, which is even worse. Things rezz slow for me right now, before this challenge.
    I got the Microsoft Community Edition of Visual Studio 2015, which is one of the most intensive bloatware programs out there. I could not run anything but 2011. They updated the heck out of it to where 2015 will not run. Its a great idea to have 5 different languages under a studio, they made a mess out of it, could barely compile simple labs in Win10. The system barely runs Windows 10 and I dont even have office loaded. I use Open Office on both sides of my dual boot. The system is a knuckle dragger.
    Your video on your face was great, very near HD quality, but showing screens, it was hard to read. If you could copy the performance program command line in show more, that would help. I called Dell to build a machine with AMD and a GPU and they are stuck were the web page fails to build. I have had 3 Dells and generally like them, run Norton, but the Laptop is a dog if anyone is considering buying one. Its better to get something better. I did programming for a living, this machine is nothing to write home about, so either I spend the $320 to do the updates or buy another desktop. If anyone knows how to improve the inbred Intel HD 1500 graphics system. let me know. thanks.

    • @Wub892
      @Wub892 5 лет назад

      You don't download software to add more ram. You have to buy and physically install the memory. That involves ripping your laptop apart. Not recommended to do if you've never done such a thing. You run the dishwasher of breaking something. These laptops are very brittle if you don't know how to snap off and remove the plastic trim.

      You can and can not do that. Its not recommended, but that involves voiding a warranty and removing a processor that wasn't intended to be removed from a machine/case that may not work well with a different CPU of your choosing. Be better off just buying a better laptop.
