Bought a refurbished DV6T-7000

Got some questions.

1.) Font in Firefox and in-general is way way too small on the 1920 x 1080 screen. What can I do to improve this?

2.) The laptop looks great, no cosmetic problems except for the keyboard brezel at the top is peeling a bit. Tried jamming it back down to no avail. Should I just super glue it or something?

3.) The mSATA 32GB cache SD thing.. Could I put Windows 8 on that to quickly boot windows?

4.) It only came with the slow 1TB 5400 HDD. What size in inches SSD can it take? I want to buy a 256 and put it in instead.

5.) Any tweaks I should make that you would recommend?

 

1. Change the default zoom to 110% or something higher if that's still too small. For Firefox you may have to install an extension to do this.
2. I'm not too sure what you mean by this. Some glue would probably work though.
3. Windows 8 is too large to fit comfortably on 32gb. While it is possible to install onto a 32gb drive, you'll probably run into too many space issues. I'd just stick to the SSD acceleration with Intel RST.
4. It should take all of the standard SSD sizes. 9mm, 7.5mm, 12.5mm, etc. If you're referring to the disk size, all SSD's and notebook hard drives are 3.5".

 

You can increase font size in windows 7/8 by right clicking the desktop and selecting screen resolution. There will be an option to increase font using choices of small, medium, or large. This will help you across the board. I had to do this on my dv6t-7000 too.
