You might wanna increase your budget. 1k laptop can't run Matlab smoothly. biggrin.gif

yeah.. thats much better.. change the hdd to ssd.... and increase the ram capacity...perhaps using 16gb ram if possible (8gb x 2) or (4gb x 2) = 8gb ram shud be ok...

if you think ssd storage is kinda low... dats not a prob... i can buy hdd caddy... and swap it with cd rom compartment... then put hdd there.. use ssd as primary slot and OS install on it... it will boost ur pc performance

I see. Will try SSD then. icon_rolleyes.gif
120GB is enough I guess.
What brand is reliable?

Yup, replace HDD to ssd and add some more ram is better for your Matlab usage. Make sure ur laptop is adequate cooled cause ur proc is a little on the hot side

It is really hot actually. Can use as water heater I guess although I don't try it yet. biggrin.gif
