1) the 256gb sssd is actually an m.2 memory stick. There is an empty space for a 2.5" sata drive. 2) The memory is 1 stick and there is room for another. 3) 256 is minimum you will want for win 10 and some programs and data. 4) The windows is Win 10 S - which is a pain to get rid since you must create a windows account to get rid of it. Otherwise, you can use as-is or get rid of it with the account and a few clicks. 5) paid $350 on sale 6) Works well as expected for an i5 with onboard graphics. 7) photos show back removed for access to disk drive.

The laptop works well for what I use it which is simply search the web and minor jobs. If not updated when it needs it, the laptop shuts down, goes into a blue screen and error message which by uploading the latest updated fixes it. The F keys and audio keys somehow aren't working, either theirs some to turn them on, I guess I haven't find out how to do it which I been using the touch screen to turn either raise or lower the volume. Besides that apps do run well, though I use it for simple jobs. I did remove the S mode on the laptop by watching a video through YouTube. So far laptop works well though you better off looking somewhere else.

The laptop is basic configuration and works great. Performance is great and battery will last long.

Nice laptop for the price. My staff use it for work.

I need the ease of taking this laptop with me and love the touch screen
