You can tell that you love your laptop a lot, I have one like it and I upgraded it by replacing 4GB 1333hz ram memory with a 16GB 1600hz memory usnig dual channel; besides replacing the hdd with an ssd and changing my old i5 2430m processor to an i7 2860qm it was definitely worth it; now it goes much faster and I can play some basic game and occasionally edit videos using movie maker. That is, if since the heatsink is prepared for a TDP of 35W and the i7 2860qm is 45W, I recommend that you buy a good thermal paste such as an ARTIC SILVER or a thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme 14.2 w/mk!!!!
Yeah I love this laptop as it was the first proper laptop (actual good laptop compared to the single core machines that I had before it) the upgrads that I want to do on it is replacing the i5 with a i7 like you did and installing a ssd)
I don't think the processor suggested by your friend i7 2860qm will play on this motherboard it is not the same 1000 series as your G6 I would tell you to go for the i7 2640m at 2.80GHz which suits your R13 motherboard very well and with 16GB ram The external plastics may look similar but they came out with the same plastics at the beginning and with the new 2000 series after which they changed the plastics.
If you already have a activated version of windows 7 running mircrosoft still offers the free upgrade to windows 10 but otherwise you're out of luck sadly :(
I have an almost similar G6-1031tx and a fancy black G6-2238sl. The former is similar to yours, with the exception that mine sports a i3-380M and a Radeon HD6470M 1GB (which HP decided to install in their idiotic dynamic switchable graphics instead of sticking to the fixed mode present in the dv6-3000 series and dv7-4000 series) but is otherwise the same as yours, design wise. (except for a anime sticker on the cover.)
Rn i have this laptop but in the near future i will build or buy a new pc becouse i mean it does run games good but it lags alot.but for now it runs really good just needs an upgrade
There are some available keyboards with backlight for (I think) this model, like this one m.alibaba.com/product/62352219193/New-laptop-backlit-keyboard-for-HP.html
Welp, I bought a broken IBM Thinkpad X40 2006. I love my new broken laptop, it is very easy to fix it. Well, I'm waiting for it's spare parts to deliver. I got myself an old IBM for 10 Dollars. Very cheap!!!
@@TygoDoesStuff My IBM is totaled. My God what a challenge for me. In my country IDE Hard Disk is impossible to find. Freak'n 100 USD to get one from USA.
@@TygoDoesStuff I'm sad, I really love my IBM. Luckily, I contacted the previous owner, and the owner said they wanted to send the laptop to the Recycling Electronic Waste and I saved it because I tell them I want the laptop. The previous owner was my neighbor's.
@@TygoDoesStuff The parts are incredibly rare, especially the Hard Disk, I bought the SD to IDE for the IDE slot. Hopefully the slot will fit perfectly, I bought it from China and Costs 80 bucks just for that simple card. It only costs 2 dollars because my country is soo unknown and ended up 80. Hopefully it will work. I just wanted a retro laptops...
That's sadly the intergrated graphics holding this laptop back. It's still a pretty decent machine but the intergrated graphics are holding back the performance of this laptop in games
An ssd would definitly make for a big performance upgrade! I used this laptop mostly with a hdd but a year before I upgraded I installed a ssd in it and it was a lot faster
It depends which part is broken, small things like the battery, charger, keyboard are still worth replacing but if you have to replace something costly like the screen or motherboard you're better off buying a new laptop
I have the same laptop,this laptop is good for browsing,watching video and movies and more...
So good content for a small TH-camr!
Thank you!!
The 1366x768 screen means you don't need to try to load videos at 1080p. Easier on the cpu and gpu
2 quick question!
1. What app u use for recording?
2.how can i get that thingy to show how much fps i have?
For recording I use a capture card connected to my pc and I record the output with OBS. The overlay with fps on screen is MSI afterburner

Man I have this laptop running windows 7 home prem and I put 12 gb of ram and it's not bad for a web browser
As long as you give these sandy bridge laptops more than 8gb of ram they are actually pretty usable in 2022!!
Same laptop unfortunately I can't upgrade to win10 cause some repairer removed the code at the back

Hp pavillion g6 1370sd
The processor you have belongs to the first generation. And your motherboard must be R -12 You could put an i7 640m with higher ram 8G

@@aresyt2582 idk
I want to upgrade this laptop and I have core i5 too but I don't know what is maximum ram to upgrade and can I can upgrade cpu and graphics card too?
The graphics card is sadly un-upgradable (except if you replace the whole motherboard. The ram can be maxxed out to a total of 16GB
@@TygoDoesStuff Thanks :)

I have an g6 1170 with i3 2310m, does anybody knows which are the options to upgrade the processor?
I suggest you get the user manual. Just google... it will Most definitely have a list of CPU compatible with your device.
It should be in the user manual but 2nd gen mobile cpus should basically all work
battery life ?
That should be at the end of the video
None
I have that and it runs LOL in 24 avg fps and minecraft the same thing
That's sadly the intergrated graphics holding this laptop back. It's still a pretty decent machine but the intergrated graphics are holding back the performance of this laptop in games

Did you already try reinstalling windows so you have a clean install with the drivers?
Is it worth replacing parts or should I get a new one?
