That bestbuy one is way under powered for the price, here's one with twice the RAM, a higher res screen (1600x900 compared to 1366 x 768) and it has dedicated graphics, however it is a 17" laptop which might be too big for her, so if you're wanting a 15" then I'd recommend this one. With the money you'd save choosing either of these over the best buy one I'd really recommend buying an SSD for the laptop if you're tech savvy enough to know how to do that, even if not there are a bunch of tutorials online that'll help you out.

As the title says, I just put this card into my HP Pavilion 17-E118DX which is running Win 8.1 and I receive "Can't connect to this network" when trying to connect to my Linksys E2500's 5GHz wifi which is set on WPA2 Personal. (Before I added the new card, the laptop couldn't even see that channel, so I guess this is an improvement :p )

We tried lots of things in the other thread, and then it went quiet, can y'all fix it?

Let me know if you need more info, thanks!


EDIT: The issue seems to have been inadvertently corrected when I flipped the security to WEP to see if if would connect (it did) then back to WPA2 Personal. It connects just fine now.

It looks like it has a x16 slot and a 330w PSU now, so upgrading to this PSU should cover a 970 or less. As for the GPU, you can install any card that will physically fit, so I recommend you open your case and measure the length from the back of your case to the drive supports. If you could give me a hard limit for a PSU and GPU, I could give a better recommendation.

No, it won't "expand" the space of your existing SSHD. It still gives you the ability to add additional storage to your laptop though. Here is a reasonably priced 500gb M.2 SSD.
If you were to add this to your laptop, I'd recommend converting it to your boot drive and then using your existing SSHD for extra file storage on top of that. Basically the m.2 drive is the same thing as a SSD/HDD, just in a different form factor. Instead of using SATA as the connector, it uses m.2.
