This does make the whole Notebook look professional and a costly piece, with a illuminated HP Logo on the Laptops Top, something which is normally seen on all the Apple MacBooks. The Notebook sides are perfectly ordered with different media connectivity options. Here is a list of all the Expansion Features this Laptop offers. The only part i didn&#8217;t like about this Laptop is the weight which is around 3.52kgs [7.76 lbs], hence i cannot use this while am on traveling but can be perfectly used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/desktop-replacement-laptops\/\">Desktop Replacement Laptop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Memory, Processor &amp; Storage :<\/strong> The HP Dv7 3080CA comes with <strong>6GB DDR3 System Memory<\/strong> with another <strong>1Gb Dedicated Graphics Memory<\/strong> which is one of the main reason i have purchased this notebook. A total of 7Gb Ram along with<strong> Intel Core i7 Processor<\/strong> would mean a complete Gaming Computer at a single location. The Laptop comes with <strong>500Gb SATA 7200RPM Hard Disk<\/strong> Drive which could allow to store a lot of data in the form of movies, music and more. It does support upto 8Gb DDR3 Ram but comes with 6Gb as default and can be upgraded anytime. These days most Laptops have a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/intel-core-duo-vs-core2\/\"> Dual Core or Core 2 Duo Processor<\/a> which would mean that there are 2 cores of processors running, but with the revolutionary<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/intel-core-i7\/\"> Core i7 Processor from Intel<\/a>, the computer processes 7 times faster. The i7 Processor, 6Gb Ram &amp; 1Gb Graphics Memory are the main reasons i went ahead purchasing this Laptop along with a 17.3&#8243; Screen which displays everything ultra clear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Input :<\/strong> The Laptop has a full sized 101-key compatible with full size keyboard with integrated numeric keypad along with a Touch Pad with On\/Off button and dedicated vertical scroll Up\/Down pad.
