thanks for putting up this video, really appreciate it, I've been in IT for 25 yrs but I like to research information before I go taking electronics apart :) and for the record Samsung support is hopeless for anyone wanting to call or chat with them. I would also like to say that this video was very well done, excellent job :)

Please make separate video on how to clone disk

Just changed the HDD. It made a humongous difference. About 30 seconds to turn on and boot windows. Previously it was 7 minutes. Plus, all the programs load so fast

Nice tutorial! i have the same laptop as well and wondering how many Gigs of Ram does this laptop support? I want to push the Ram to max and upgrade to SSD as well probably put a thermal paste as well. Was planning to buy a laptop next sale but I think I should see first the upgrades since I only use browser and read pdf's

Hi! Thanks for the video, found it really usefull. May I ask, how do you get into de BIOS? cant do it on my samsung np300e5c

[darrylrafer]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm just wondering I have the NP300E4X (A03PH) model and would like to know the max ram for my laptop.
Also is it possible to upgrade the CPU??

[marqiesdesade]

Hi, do you need to execute the acronis/ true image part after fitting the new parts? Is it necessary to be able to use the laptop again? Sorry voor my noobquestion 🤗

[danielle]

Hi! I like the video. I was wondering what part should I buy for my laptop? It's a bit old (and I can't buy a new one right now) and it somehow lags if there's a lot going in the background. I even deleted unnecessary programs and files, doesn't help. I'm not really techy in hardwares. Mine's similar to this but the model is NP300E4C. TIA!

[pablodelavega]

Hi, great video! I wonder if it's possible to put an SSD drive where the hard disk was and then insert the hard disk with a caddy so as to have both in the notebook?

[jinpaul]

Love your vid! I have a NP300E4C-S01AE have stock 4gb ram. any idea how much max ram it can support?

[DangNguyen-fqhy]

Is it avaiable for upgrading (replacing) a newer cpu?
I am using the same like that.

[stupideditsx]

Which screww driver did you use to ipen the laptop

[VerilioAldrovandi]

Really useful video!! I have a question so my Samsung is NP300E5X with Dual Core Intel Celeron Cpu 820 1, 7 Ghz with 2 GB ram and 500 gb HDD storage, what should I buy to upgrade my notebook? I've already bought a new battery and the rest works really good.
I'm using Elementary Os and works great but the only problem when I use 2 or more programs at the same time it starts to lag a lot.. it's really annoying me..thanks in advance for your answer(I've already subscribed)

Hi, i use samsung np300, if I will run the premiere pro 2019 program, what needs to be upgraded? I ask for your recommendation.

Disculpa una Consulta, Tengo una Samsung NP305E5A, a la cual le quiero cambiar el disco por un ssd nuevo para venderla, pero quiero pasar solo el sistema operativo y la particion de recuperacion al ssd, no clonar todo el disco. Se puede hacer? De antemano gracias

[raunaqt]

Thank you for an amazing video.
I have two questions:
1. Is there a specific SSD that is supported or any would be fine for the Samsung laptop?
2. I did installed windows 10 on this laptop but couldn't find graphic drivers, which one did you use?

I own NP 300 E5Z S02IN
