PCs R Us IT Department Training Manual Upgrade Options For the first part of this section of the training manual, in 1-2 pages, explain which laptop components you can upgrade. This could vary from laptop to laptop, but in general what laptop components can be upgraded? The storage device and the RAM can be upgraded on a laptop. On some laptops, you can also upgrade the Wi-Fi card. Many laptops have a plug-in mini PCI-e Wi-Fi card (right photo). Newer laptops use the M.2 standard card (left photo). Explain your reasoning. My reasoning behind my choices is because the Hard drive and RAM are the top two components that are upgraded on a laptop. I would look at the documentation of laptop first before upgrading so that I can see what the max RAM speed is allowed and see how many GB is the max that can be installed. Many different types of laptops come with a 2.5” HDD and the newer ones even allow for an M.2 SSD.

For the second part of this section of the training manual, in 1-2 pages, address the following scenario: The customer that you assisted in upgrading their PC components was so impressed with your abilities that they decided to have you upgrade their laptop components. The customer has a $500 budget. The customer currently has a 14-inch i3 Dell Latitude E7470 with 128 GB SSD and 4 GB memory. They say that the laptop is slow, and they are running out of storage. They also want to be able to view the laptop on a larger monitor. Be sure to include pricing for each component you choose for the upgrade(s). Components to upgrade: These would be the components that would need to be upgraded. I also included the cost of the cable needed for the monitor. According to the documentation for the laptop, max GB on the SSD would be 512gb, max Ram would be 16gb (2 x 8GB modules) DD4 SDRAM (1600 MHz – 2400 MHz). The laptop does have an HDMI port to connect to a larger monitor. An external Hard drive was purchased to increase storage space. I was able to max out the RAM and SSD according to the specifications in the documentation found online. Internal SSD – Acer FA100 512GB SSD - M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 $27.99 External HDD – WD 8TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 external hard drive for plug-and-play storage - WDBWLG0080HBK-NESN $134.99 SDRAM – Samsung 8GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module - 8 GB (2 x 8 GB) - DDR4 SDRAM - 2400 MHz DDR4-2400 $40.80 Monitor – LG FHD 32-Inch Computer Monitor 32ML600M-B, IPS $199.99 HDMI cable – Amazon Basics HDMI 3ft Cable $4.44
