A: This laptop does not work with ANY ACTIVE STYLUS. This has been confirmed by HP Product support. I do not know why Best Buy continues to sell it with the Bamboo Smart Stylus, and advertise the laptop as working with an active stylus. Very frustrating and misleading.
A: Yes, you can write to blank CDs using this PC.
Q: Can memory be upgraded from 12GB to 16GB
A: Yes but you will need to download the HP maintainence guide for this laptop as the rear is pretty sealed and you need directions how to removed the rear cover.

A: Thank you for reaching out. You can add an SSD to this model quite easily! It can use a SATA or M.2 drive.
Q: If paying this kind of money, what software is included??

Q: Processor speed is 1.8 gig, how does that compare to others? Thank you?
A: The 1.8GHz is the base frequency of this Intel i7-8550U processor. With TurboBoost, this computer can reach frequencies up to 4GHz. 8th generation Intel Processors have been redesigned with more efficiency and multitasking management in mind, so their frequency range is much wider compared to previous generations. The i7s are among Intel's fastest processors.
Q: will this laptop play blu ray media?
A: No, the built in optical drive only supports DVD and CD formats. To play Blu Ray media you would need to connect an external Blu Ray drive via USB.
