Full Questions
What are the differences between the 15-3040nr and the 15t-3200? I want the best for my gaming, so what is the difference in the hard drives other than size (I don't fully understand the rpm) and which is most balanced in size & speed? As well as what is the advantage of L3 Caches in the processor as compared to the Turbo boost Overclock up to 3.1 GHz? Does that mean I'd change a setting to get better processing while draining battery?

Quick Questions
1. Notebook 15-3040nr or 15t-3200?
2. Processor Turbo-Boost or L3 Cache?
3. Hard drive Stack on size or size to rpm proportion?

P.S. whomever answers my top questions I will love you long time <3 xoxo

I'm frankly quite irritated with this whole situation, but I suppose the blame is somewhat split among the several parties involved, (HP Tech Guys who put up the faulty order page, myself who ordered a component that was not offered, customer service for not letting me change my order, and the factory guys for not just installing a supported component instead) which is making it difficult for me to be pissed off at HP in general...

Either way my order have damn well better be shipped by tomorrow or I'm going to be all over someone's !

tell me about it

^ So because we didn't upgrade our RAM we are being penalized? It's not my fault their website was wrong and gave me the option to get 1333mhz 6GB. Mine better ship by tomorrow too. I'll be out of town next week and I want this for my trip.

Few more questions
(I know, sorry guys I'm just really sketchy before I invest +$1,000 into something)

How much does the RAM really affect overall performance? Especially if I don't have many programs open at one time.

HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection is included in the 750GB 7200 rpm & 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drives, yet doesn't look like it is in the 750 GB 7200 rpm Hybrid Hard Drive? What are the pro's & con's to the Hybrid vs Normal?

if u had to choose b/w the two hardrives get the hybrid. I would advise u dont upgrade hdd and buy an aftermarket ssd to put it in much better investment. As for the ram, 6-8 gb shouldbe fine as long as you dont do ram intensive work (large files like photo video editing, etc.) most comps dont use over 4gb, 8 is futureproof atm and upgrading prices are cheaper and easy to upgrade

Indeed. Hopefully all our orders will ship by then.

Can you further explain this? I'm trying my best to keep up but I just started researching on computers

the regular harddrives are just... regular hardrives the hp protectsmart or w.e for the most part is just a gimmik (from what i have heard)

the hybrid is like a combo of ssd+ hdd it has like 8 gb (iirc) of ssd and then its a regular hdd, what it does is it caches the most used files onto the ssd portion so they load up faster (windows, games, photoshop, etc.) while the not regularly used files open like a regular harddrive

the ssd is solid state drive which i like to call a really big flashdrive haha. its crazy increase in performance compared to regular harddrive and a good boost from the hybrid. however these are still expensive compared to regular hdd but tehy are droping
