    Hi there

    I purchase the DV5094EA the other day and i am extemely impressed with it. I will be giving a full review shortly.

    I did buy it with the intention of upgrading the hard drive at some stage.

    1 - Does anybody know where i would buy the Hard drive from
    2 - how much it would cost.
    3 - is it hard to do.
    4 - Would this invlidate the warranty.
    5 - And lastly in terms of percentage what improvements would i see.

    1 You'll get the best price on the internet.
    2. Depends on size and speed.
    3. No, but you have to re-install Windows.
    4. No, but the hard drive will not be warranted by HP.
    5. Depends on what you are doing, but you will see a noticeable improvement in system performance.
