Morning all,

I'm looking at this computer for my wife and I was just wondering if anyone know the power supply strength that comes with it. It doesn't look like it's on HP's site in that specs.

I'm asking because I might add a small graphic card a couple months down the lines for her in case she wants to play a game here and there and also because the screen that comes with it (in the package deal link above) is 1600x1050.

Thx for the help.

Actually went to see the box today and since the staff didn't seem to know either, I got them to open the one they had on demo. 250watts ouch...

Yeah I have the same computer its garbage. If you want to put a decent graphics card that isn't too expensive you need to upgrade the power supply which adds to the cost and its not worth it unless you upgrade the RAM, OS, and the Processor My Laptop runs better and its 3 years older. They should make it illegal to give people computers without an actual graphics card with a 3D shader. This chipset junk is just that...junk.


So if your still interested find out at a store or on the net how big of a Power Supply you need for your new G-card. Usually on the box of a graphics card tells u how much WATT it needs. I hope this helps a bit
