To determine which of the two SONY VAIO laptops, the R505 or the V505, is newer and to address your other questions, we'll need to explore the specifications of both laptops. Since the links are not accessible, I'll provide you with general information that might help you make informed decisions:

1. Processor:​

• The processor determines the performance of the laptop.
• Newer processors are typically faster and more efficient.
• Without specific model numbers, it's challenging to compare the processors in the R505 and V505 directly.

2. Processor Upgrade:​

• Upgrading the processor in laptops can be complex and often not recommended due to compatibility issues with the motherboard.
• It's typically not possible to swap an older processor with a newer one due to chipset limitations and other factors.

3. 1TB HDD Compatibility:​

• Both laptops should support a 1TB HDD, as they likely have standard SATA interfaces for storage.
• It's essential to check the physical dimensions (2.5" or 3.5") and the interface (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) for compatibility.

4. Booting from a 320GB HDD with Windows 7:​

• Both laptops should be able to boot from a 320GB HDD with Windows 7 installed, assuming that the HDD is compatible with the laptop.
• Make sure the laptop supports booting from the selected storage device.

5. Maximum RAM:​

• The maximum RAM capacity varies depending on the laptop model.
• Typically, older laptops like the R505 and V505 may support up to 4GB or 8GB of RAM.
• Check the laptop's documentation or specifications to confirm the maximum RAM capacity.

6. Blu-ray Playback:​

• To play Blu-ray movies, the laptops need a Blu-ray drive and appropriate software.
• Older laptops like the R505 and V505 may not come with a built-in Blu-ray drive.
• You could use an external Blu-ray drive if the laptop supports external drives and has the necessary software support.

For more detailed information regarding the specific models and their capabilities, it's best to refer to the official documentation or specifications of the laptops. If you can provide more specific details or model numbers for the laptops, I can offer a more precise comparison and answer your questions in detail.
