can u upgrade the dvd drive to a bluray drive in this laptop?

DIY ?

??

Upgrade yourself..

really? can do that?
you mean i should buy the internal bluray drive and upgrade it?
any bad effects about doing so?

Yes, just unscrew and slide the dvd out and slide in the bluray drive..

Nothing much, maybe need to slot in back the original dvd drive for warranty purposes...

okay, but i'm really afraid it would result to problems in future..
meantime, i REALLY need a bluray player ......
nvm, would consider it...
im getting this 4830TG in 2 weeks time!
btw, all the bluray drives are suitable or only specific ones?

Usually got two version with different height, 9.5mm and 12.7mm..
check the original what height first..

ok. erm, do i have to install any additional driver/software for that?
and... can i do the upgrade myself or with a technician ?

No need, should be just plug and play..
Shouldn't need a technician..

You just need to remove one screw (on bottom, just right beside the area for dvd drive) then should be able to take out the dvd drive..

alright, might as well buy an internal bluray drive when i purchase my laptop!
thank you so much for clarifying

if dat is possible, i'd like to convert it to a HDD bay instead. 120GB SSD boot drive and the stock 640GB/750GB HDD for storage.

Just bought this nice lappy last weekend. I found that my Windows Experience Index as below:
Processor: 6.9
Memory: 5.9
Graphics: 4.7
Gaming graphics: 6.6
Primary hard disk: 5.9

Why the graphics only score 4.7? I saw others can get 5.7 or 5.9. Anyone can clarify this with me? Thanks.

Using balanced/high performance during the WEI ?

Use balanced or high performance also the same 4.7 score. The P light is off. Any idea?

Might want to try install latest driver...

need to know about this laptop.

i had compare with asus n43sl,and i found that this 2 laptop had almost similar specs.

i read that this this laptop had put the speaker on bottom,the sound is clear or not???

clear for sure.. but dun expected too much on laptop speaker!

not really too much coz only a certain time i will use for watching movie.

but the sound still loud right?

coz my friend's laptop had a bottom speaker,and the sound is very very slow like speak in kain la..

how long the actual battery life for 4830tg?

Stick with N43Sl if you prefer speaker..
