Hi:

The HP service manual is incorrect regarding the max memory.

It states 2 x 4 GB, but with the Intel core processor notebooks you can install 2 x 8 GB.

SSD's...I have checked the prices in India and I have found that this one offers the best performance for the price.

This is for the 500 GB model.

If you can get this model for around the same price, it would be slightly better in the performance.

You can't upgrade the graphics for two reasons...

1. The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard.

2. You already have the best graphics solution HP offered in that model series.

Hi:

There are two things you can do...

1. Replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a better performing 2.5" solid state drive.

2. Max out the memory to 16 GB.

Your notebook is the consumer class equivalent of the entry level HP 250 G4 business class notebook.

Below is the link to the service manual...
