Ok so I have a little dilemma. I have a early 2008 HP dv6700... something don't know the exact model but it has a core 2 duo T5550 1.83 Ghz, 3 Gb ram, 350Gb HDD, Intel GMA X3100, bootleg windows 7 ultimate (used to have vista HP but key wore off and is unreadable).
I was wondering if it would be worth while to upgrade the HDD to something bigger since I would like to have more space 250gig is not really enough for my stuff anymore. Also the battery is not holding a very decent charge anymore about half an hour and goes from full charge to completely dead in a week if it just sits turned off. I do light gaming ie minecraft but it doesn't run too well but I used optifine to make it run faster. And the bearing in the cooling fan is starting to go I think as well it was making an awful noise a while ago so I took the whole heatsink assembly apart and oiled the fan and its working quiet now but for how long I wonder
I guess my dilemma is do I upgrade the HDD and replace the battery now or the other option is wait until december and buy a new laptop.
