    When any repair is done laptop should never be downgraded. It can only be upgraded if some part is not available at a time.

    You will receive the same components that you had or better.

    You should be getting the same components that you had when it went in so there should be no difference at all. The only time there might be a performance difference is if like Porras said you get better components then you had before due to a shortage of parts OR one of the new components is defective which does not happen often.
