I Wish to upgrade my Pavilion x360 14ba073tx laptop with RAM and SSD

[imSunil]

I am intersted in upgrading my Pavilion x360 14ba073tx with SSD & RAM to boost the performance. Presently my default 1 TB Hard disk is running 100% of the disk most of the times which is resulting into lagging performance without much of the apps open. So here are my questions down below.

Note: I know there is 1 thread started by NitinGaikwad here but that doesnt conclude anything on the topic.

1. Please suggest me which type of SSD is supported in Pavilion x360 14ba073tx and what is the maximum capacity i could install.

2. I am aware 1 RAM slot is open and available but can someone confirm me the max capacity i could install in that slot (4 gb or 8 gb), Laptop comes with preinstalled 8gb ram in 1 slot and slot 2 is open.

I have already gone through manual and things r not clear there also. So i would like to know from someone who has implemented and installed these things in real in this laptop.

An early response would be helpful.

Hi, 

This is an update message which is gonna help many here for the laptop models HP Pavillion x360 14-ba000tx series. Major of the users are concerned about upgrading their laptop with ssd and more ram. HP User and Maintaince manual has confused many here including me, So i decided to try both and now sharing my experience and results to help users here.

1. Yes this model supports m2.nvme and laptop has 1 dedicated slot for this also. I have installed 500 gb nvme in my laptop and it is working pretty fine and i am booting my laptop from SSD with blazing speeds. Earlier my laptop used to take about 60 secs from company logo screen to password screen. After installing SSD, its taking at an avg of 12-15 sec time. Pretty help with the results. I am using the combination of both SSD 500 GB and HD 1TB.

Product using: CRUCIAL P1 500GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD(CT500P1SSD8).

2. Laptop comes with 2 DDR4 RAM Slots, out of which 1 slot is used default with 8GB RAM and user manual says 12 GB is the highest capacity, well i have installed 8 GB RAM in slot 2 and its working pretty fine. So total memory of my laptop now stands at 16 GB. Please note that motherboards supports 2133 mhz DDR4 RAM .

Product Using: SAMSUNG 2400 Mhz DDR4 8 GB (Dual Channel) (M471A1K43CB1 CRC PC4 19200).

Attaching some pictures for reference.

Hope this help many users here. Cheers and Enjoy 🙂
