Hey Friends,

I'll be buying the new HP PAVILION DV4 -3016TX tomorrow from kolkata from MD. computers. So my queries are URGENT.

1. I plan to upgrade RAM (dd3-1333) to 8GB. So how much would more and is that an easy process and how much time would it take ??

2. HP is providing HOME BASIC instead of HOME PREMIUM, and as i want the benefits of home premium (like media center,full aero,network creation) would it be possible to persuade the shop owner to give me a CD of home premium instead of home basic for FREE or a small fee ?

3. If i do not need the OS (Win 7 home basic) would they provide any discount ? If yes how much approximately ?

3. Any tactics or new tricks i should know before buying for laptop in kolkata ?

Friends, please reply as soon as possible as i only have today.
Bye.

1. depends on how much ram it comes with generally its 4GB so i think u have to add another stick of 4G its simple ur vendor can do it in 5 mins
2.u can purchase the update kit seperately for 2.5K for here
Microsoft Windows Anytime Upgrade Win 7 Home Basic to Win 7 Home Premium: Flipkart.com: Microsoft Operating Systems
3.i dont think it is allowed only hp commercial laptops comes without os
