I got the Latitude from the same era with i5 5 years ago for 250ish usd and it still works with an sshd, albeit it slows down alot with browsers these days. I didn't put ssd as I don't think it would be used at full potential as its sata 2 port only.

I had one of these with the i7-640LM as my main system a while back. Loved it until the fans decided to stop working properly. Overheated constantly, but was an absolute beast when it was running correctly. Only reason I updated to a proper PC was because I was starting to get into PC gaming. I'm sure this PC would have still been in use today by me if I didn't

New quadro board $35 on ebay, 820qm was $26 on ebay, 500gb WD blue on Amazon for $58 and a ODD HDD caddy for $15 with a 1tb rotational I got free from work. Already had 8gb of ram, the 1600x900 display and centrino ultimate 6300 wifi card. 820 is A LOT of chip for that cooler but it manages. I just use it for KZread and email and stuff but I love it!

FINALLY. A video for about I7-620m and a 8gb of ram. I am planning to upgrade my Dell Inspiron N4010 (actually I am currently using it right now while typing this comment) with the same.. really the same specs. But I doubt for upgrading it because it may not worth it. but after watching this video. it gave me an answer if I should spent almost a 200$ for upgrades in this laptop or not. I am actually a High school student and does not have a solid income (my parents don't even give me monthly allowance or give me money for school. they only give me money if they forget/don't have time to cook lunch in the morning) so that is why I am very considerate in my expenses.

I am now wondering if i5 would fit in my dell n4010? Because they had an same socket as the pga etc etc. It would be really great if someone conduct a test if it would fit

Incredibly surprising that it's capable of 4K from a browser. With proper HW/Accel from something like, say VLC or PotPlayer, especially KODI, you can expect it but straight from the browser? Not bad at all. Video playback from browsers usually takes a gargantuan hit in performance compared to a proper video player, so for a laptop this old to run it in 4K... Impressive

Excellent video..

Not bad at all, shame that this era of laptops can't go beyond 8GB RAM but oh well. These laptops will still be great for basic tasks, especially with a decent budget SSD. A lot of these laptops came with 320GB/500GB/640GB/750GB hard drives, and whilst Windows 7 was OK on a hard drive, Windows 10 is a bit slow. And of course, unless you fully defragment the hard drive regularly, Windows will be very slow indeed.

Awesome work man well I say that is perfection ...Kudos to you ..one question try gta5 I will be sure that you will achieve 35 to 40 FPS just try and upload a video

I use this laptop every day I have 4gb ram i5 fun

The hardisk clicking sounds like something else 🙂

I was expecting you to do a bench mark after the upgrade. I was also expecting to see the system as the i7-620M is 2.66GHz and burst (turbo) around 3.33GHz

I'd be curious to see it's little brother, the 2540p, gaming hooked to your home-made egpu... Best ! (I'm very admirative of your work!)

i3 380m was a great little monster.

Question for you Andrew: I just found one of these old treasures recently and realized after using it a while what a great computer it is for the price. But I would really like something thinner that still has great specs and upgradeability while still costing less than $300 or so on ebay like these do. Would you be able to recommend anything?

The old hard drive is just making nice music :).

It looks like it has been used in a corporative environment, hence its good-looking shape (I think). Great reparing process BTW, maybe in 3-4 years it would be perfect for a low or mid-spec Linux distro. But I liked the outcome anyway.

I have an experience with Dell E6410 which uses the same Lynnfield generation of CPUs and 2x4GB modules was the maximum and it even didn't like all brands, just SkHynix dual rank 4GB modules worked, i even had a regular non low voltage 1600MHz 8GB modules which didn't work too. Next generation of CPUs after this one - Sandy Bridge has no problem with any low voltage 8GB modules.

Make a video on you modding an all in one pc with a gpu. It would be nice to see one. I have one of those, and I think I can do some more upgrades soon. Mine is a 2009 Acer Aspire Z5600. It had touch screen, but the driver for it are not working anymore, and I was unable to get drivers. Either way, just wanted to tell you for a suggestion, that exact model or similar would be very nice though.

In first Congrats for the awesome work performed. I have one of this using I5 M520 , I am using W10 but my bluetooth driver is not working, do you have the bluetooth driver link for W10?

incredible video this is my adiction

you should try making an memtest86 bootable usb stick to test the RAM. Great tool!

I have an elite book nearly 2470p. It's 10 years old with an i7 and it's still runs fine with Windows 10. I can play classic games (Age of Empires II) GOG on the thing great and all the office stuff / internet/ video / audio streamng. I can draw with a Wacom stylus and is a great drawing tool in tablet mode. This thing is so old, it doesn't have an HDMI port, USB 3.0, but I think it has firewire (looks like the nuke symbol). it just as snappy a a budget laptop with all the great mechanical switches for wi-fi, volume, etc. it even has a pop up led on the screen bezel to shine on the keyboard instead of the common backlit keyboard today. better than a budget laptop in features and on par in performance. Just put in an SSD and maxed the RAM. I bought it to play Diablo II (4:3 screen so aspect ratio is perfect.)
