Looking for Answers about samsung NP550P7C 17.3" Series 5 Notebook?

I own this laptop. Its resolution is 1600X900

there are 3 memory slots so in theory it could run any triple size set of memory strips. I currently have 3x4gb sticks of ddr3 mem in mine and it is running well

I downloaded the manual. There is a guide for adding memory and a new hard drive. The chipset does support two sata 3 hard drives. Once I purchase I want to install an SSD as my main boot device. It's worth downloading.

the intel HD4000 Graphics is the default graphics processor thats inbuilt onto the cpu die, i.e. its a part of the cpu, the nvidia graphics card kicks in when you want to do some gaming or use graphics intensive taksk.
its like the intel hd 4000 is what you use when you want to walk and the nvidia gpu is for when you want to run, either way you still want your legs..
the intel gpu is used when you want to use as little battery as possible while you use the nvidia gpu when you want full on gaming/graphical performance.
dont disable anything

Hi Luke,

Unfortunately the unit does not contain a Firewire port as this type of connection is no longer commonly used. You should however be able to purchase a third party USB Firewire adapter to allow you to make the connection with your device.

Thanks.
