        One cycle per day RAM, wow. That would be 1/86,400 Hz!

      It probably means a Win7 OEM licence but these were (and still are) all able to be upgraded for free to Win10 legitimately.

        The old, install windows 7, hactivate it and then do a clean upgrade to 10 😎👍

          Clean Install Windows 10 Version 1607 Using a Windows 7 Product Key.
          Then use the windows 10 upgrade assistant to update

          BAM Legit windows no prob

      Win7 Pro is still entitled to upgrade to win10.

      • b2dz on 15/11/2019 - 10:01

        Still? I thought that wound up years ago. Cool.

            @Manny Calavera: Windows 7 Home licenses can still be used to activate Windows 10 Home. I last did it about two days ago.

            • capslock janitor on 15/11/2019 - 17:55

              @rogerm22: I remember reading they had a set date to which they'd stop offering Free Upgrade to Hoem users… did some directive change, or they couldn't be bothered patching ?

              • rogerm22 on 15/11/2019 - 18:36

                @capslock janitor: The date was for all users, not just Home users. It was in 2016. There a period of time after that when you had to use the specific upgrade tool for people using Assistive Technologies to still be able to upgrade. But it's been quite some time since that was needed. You just need a valid license for Windows 7 or 8, to be able to upgrade for free.

  • Skramit on 15/11/2019 - 09:51

    Is RAM upgradeable?

    • Kangal on 15/11/2019 - 13:27

      I think both RAM and SSD, but I'm wondering if the dGPU is also upgradeable.
      If there was a way to (cheaply) upgrade it to a GTX 1650 or 1050 Ti, that would make this a great value as a PC that lives next to a Monitor or a TV.

        Unfortunately no. It will be BGA.
        Cheers

        • capslock janitor on 15/11/2019 - 17:55

          How?

          Switchable Graphics
          AMD Radeon HD 8790M Graphics 2GB
          Intel HD Graphics

          And why??

          • vinni9284 on 15/11/2019 - 18:38
            +4

            @capslock janitor: Switchable graphics switch between the CPU/internal GPU and the dedicated GPU to save power for the battery.
            Intel HD = internal CPU & AMD is the dedicated BGA GPU on the motherboard.
            It has nothing to do with an upgrade-able GPU.
            The motherboard is one piece with the CPU/GPU integrated and doesn't have a sister card GPU (MXM) option.
            The GPU has to be an MXM type of graphics and tbh, if this PC was an MXM up-gradable GPU, the GTX1060 will cost $800 just for the card and not even worth it.
            Also you have to factor a compatible HSF for the GPU upgrade.
            Then the additional cost is disassembly, upgrade and re-assembly
            You buy this laptop for occasional computing and light gaming and that's it.
            For the price it is (was) a bargain

          like 5.25 discs but with lasers

          • iDroid on 15/11/2019 - 10:58

            @mudguppy1: Just to be clear. They're like the single notched 5.25" discs, don't confuse them with the double notched variant.

  • Roman Sandstorm on 15/11/2019 - 12:31

    This is/was a fantastic deal.

    I have a few of these E6540's at my work. They are rock-solid, reliable, perfectly adequate performance for all but modern gaming or video editing.

    Even the CPU, although 'only' 4th gneration, is barely 5% slower than the current equivalent (Core i7-8665U).

    I'd probably try to find another 4GB of RAM, but as DDR3 is so relatively expensive, I wouldn't bother going to 16 GB.

    Add a PR03X (or 2X) docking station for about $20 off eBay, and a VESA monitor stand dock (maybe $40), and you have an incredible value system, likely to last another four or five years.

    It'd be worth picking up if under $300, even if this deal is gone.

  • imcold on 15/11/2019 - 18:32

    Only downside of this is the 5 yo hardware, as long as you don't drop it I guess it can last another 5 years. I would have considered this a temporary upgrade from my 6 yo hardware given the better GPU and FHD. Then it's become another loaner laptop.
