Inspiron 1520 hard drive upgrade question

Recently purchased (and received) my Inspiron 1520 and she works beautifully, but the hard drive is only 80 GB. On the site that didn't seem so tiny but in general usage it's starting to feel a bit cramped.

Wondering if there's anything in place through Dell if a customer did want to upgrade their HD after the fact to something a bit larger (since assume there is a grace period where I can return the whole laptop, so would think they'd have something in place for this?).

 

Not sure if you can do so through Dell, but from my knowledge the HD is easily replaceable in most laptops, including the Inspirons. I've never done it myself, but I'm sure many places will do it for you, even if Dell does not.

 

Not really the technical factor being the issue, more so in retrospect was thinking that $40 more for the 120 GB doesn't seem bad, and the fact they "just recently" stopped including the 80 GB and 120 GB became standard...kinda feels like shoulda waited slightly longer.

 

My daughter recently gave me her Inspiron 1505 notebook; however, without a battery. Can someone please tell me what kind of battery I should purchase.

Thanks,

You need to make new post for this question me thinks...

The battery will be specific to your machine and is not an off the shelf item.

However, if you call Dell they will be able to sell you the correct battery. Alternatively eBay is a good place to look.
