Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone with the same model or has knowledge of upgrading this laptop could help me with a question I have. I wanted to upgrade the hard drive, but I don't know if there's any other items needed to be bought before I get a new hard drive. Is the M17xR2 missing any parts that will prevent me from installing a new hard drive?
Alienware m17xR2
Windows 7 Home Premium/64-bit OS
BIOS A10
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @ 1.73GHz
4GB RAM
Chip Type: AMD Radeon Graphics processor
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series
These are a few of the hard drives I've been looking into:
