    I have a Dell inspiron 15 7000 series 7559 which is non touch screen, can I upgrade the screen to a touch screen.

    I bought it in Australia when they hadn't released the touch screen version and they don't have very different specs and the two do not seem to have different drivers. If I could find the right screen for it could i change it to a touch screen? The only difference is that the touch screen is 4k

    MSI GP72 2QE what are the chances I could upgrade to 32GB?

    I'm strongly considering this laptop - or another MSI, however most of them say "max. 16GB RAM".. but for me one of the biggest considerations if upgrading to 32GB. So what are the chances this laptop would work if I installed 2 16GB SODIMMs ?

    My laptop currently has an i3-2350M processor and it's really slowing down, especially with Android Studio. I already tore down the laptop twice to clean it up but still the same.
