Upgrading Storage on Dell Inspiron 11-3153

Dell Inspiron 11 – 3153, is a touch screen 11.6 inch laptop with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of installed Solid State Drive. When I purchased this laptop from Best Buy in 2015, I had in mind that I would upgrade it to 250/500 GB SSD. This configuration was not available on Dell’s website and was sold under Best Buy Blue Label.

After almost 3 years, I found that I really need to upgrade the SSD in this laptop, watched a few videos and decided to upgrade to a 256 GB Crucial SSD. After receiving the SSD, cloned the current disc using Acronis True Image, that I got with PNY SSD. I had upgrdaded my Sony Vaio laptop from 500 GB HDD to 256 GB SSD last year (2017). Before that, I had upgraded disc drive in my ASUS EEEPC running Windows XP with a Sandisk 128 GB SSD. I was confident that I would do it quickly.

I opened the laptop, removed two of the three screws securing the hard drive and was working on 3rd one. It was a Samsung SSD that came with laptop. After a few trials when I found that I am starting to strip the screw, I stopped. Closed the cover and planned to go to Geek Squad at Best Buy.

I gave them the SSD that I bought and the laptop for replacing the drive. They said it would be 40 $. It was OK that even though I am going to spend another 40 $, after all I would be able to expand the Storage on this Dell laptop.

Why to Buy an Apple iPAd Now?

Hello Everyone, I now think that I should have written Apple Device to be clear. We are not a big fan of apple products. We had our last Tablet in 2011. That time I bought ASUS Transformer Tab from New Egg for $ 399. Since last year my daughter is using that to watch rhymes and GPB Videos.

Recently I thought of buying a new tablet and was looking at Lenovo, ASUS and Samsung for the need. I kept a budget for $300 for a good tablet from these companies. Although there are low priced versions available I was not impressed with their tech Specs. Then I saw Samsung Tab A8, I liked it overall and also the current price tag of 169 $. I thought I would buy one in May before our India visit.

Then, on 22nd March I got the news that Apple has introduced a Red Color iPhone 7 🙂 and a new series of iPads. The starting price of iPad is $ 329 for a 32 GB WiFi version. This made me realize that I should give a try to an Apple product. In 2015 while I was thinking of McBook Air, finally I bought this DELL Blue from Best Buy. I am still not using it enough but I really like it except that the keyboard is without LED back lighting.

So, coming back to iPad, I ordered it around 11:30 today and they said that it would be shopped on 30th March, so I hope to get in our hands in the week of 3rd April. let’s wait and see!
