Can I upgrade RAM and hard drive in my Acer Aspire 5735Z laptop?

Geethan Ambanpola asks:

I want to increase my laptop memory from 2GB to 4GB. I also have a bad hard drive of 150 GB and I want to upgrade it to at least 350GB or 500GB.

I want to know whether this is possible to do this in an Acer Aspire 5735Z. It has a dual core processor of 2.00 GHz and is running in Windows 7. Thanks for the help.

Not a problem. Have a look at http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Aspire%205735Z&Cat=RAM, where you can get the components for your model (if you don’t want a 1TB disc you can buy a 2.5″ inch SATA drive of another capacity elsewhere).

If your not concerned with shorter battery life between charges get a 7200 rpm drive instead of 5400 rpm to speed up your laptop.

Yes, you can upgrade your RAM to 4 GB and you might be able to upgrade the hard drive too if the motherboard supports the hard drive. So be careful when buying a harddrive.
