[QUOTE="greenhorn, post: 2272741, member: 2015"] I have a 2011 laptop (toshiba C640) from my wife which i have upgraded RAM to 8 GB, HDD to SSD and wifi/BT to an intel 7260 AC with BT4.0 and a new keyboard. it works like a charm on windows 10 and is pretty smooth for most tasks - browsing, downloads etc. On the other hand, i have a 3 year old inspiron for which I am still sitting on the fence on changing the keyboard (some keys dont work) because the keyboard is intergrated with the palmrest and the palmrest is integrated with the entire laptop bottom half, and it takes 1 hour to replace. Whoever designed this laptop at dell needs to be smacked on the head with that palmrest. I did ask a friend who works in dell, and he said that for the cheaper models, dell is not too involved in the design, and they just specify some overall parameters and everything is all left to some ODM who then design these kludges for ease of assembly [/QUOTE]
