Still, Samsung mSATA 850EVO, at 1 TB capacity worked fine, which gives perspective of outfitting this laptop with total 5TB of flash storage - 1TB in mSATA format, and two 2.5" disks in HDD slot and ODD tray with adapter. mPCIe: When pulled out, the outside mPCIe slot perfectly supports mSATA disks, but only on SATA-2 speeds. NMEA tracker works, but I couldn't force Google Maps or Earth (Pro) to read location, but may be some OS/software setting - I didn't have time to investigate.
In Europe, that means heavily congested HSPA bands of original card. WWAN: There is WWAN whitelisting, sadly, and it is very unfortunate, because much to my disappointment the LTE modem that is allowed by HP supports only LTE bands 4 and 17, exclusive in USA, so it's useless in anywhere else in the world. Still waiting for 7260-AC, but there should be nothing stopping these from working. WiFi: There is no WiFi whitelisting: I tried about 25 different cards, including some exotic Attansic and Widcomm AB cards, I found even WiFi/WiMax adapter, and it booted up (of course no antenna, so I didn't check signal). It has single channel LVDS cable!!! I have no idea how does this work.īoth came with HM76 chipset, so no vPro. The one with Core i5 has TPM 1.2 module (plus), and 1600x900 screen. I understand that half of it isn't officially supported, but I'll take the risk, as long as it works.ĮDIT: I decided to edit the main post body. FHD or HD+ IPS display, if there are compatible spares (with correct cable, of course)?
Only spares I can find cheaply come with it - will it work (does it have the connector), or if not, will the keyboard still work? Keyboard with a trackpoint? This requires some explaining: Originally it came with really badly dirty keyboard (not spilled, just unsavagably greased, like doritos mixed with butter massaged into it), and it lacked the trackpoint. Intel 7260-AC WiFi/BT card? Previous model I had had WIFI whitelisting, this model probably doesn't, but I'd like to check. HP LT2523 LTE mPCIe modem (it's listed as a spare part for this laptop, despite only hs2350 and un2430 being listed on modem support)?
I'd really love quad core CPU, it speeds up my work so much. Core i7-3632QM 35W Quad core CPU? I've found it's officially compatible with I7-3820QM (which is surprisingly 45W part, but extremely hard to come by in my area). Problem is HP documentation is wildly confusing and often contradicting itself. I want to be it as modern as possible, since it's going to be in use as long as possible. However it's lacking essential components. yuck!) and I see it becoming my main machine. I've just bought used (but mostly disassembled) 6470B.
