Q: can this computer run chrome

A: Yes, this laptop can run Chrome without any issues.

Q: HP team, you answered yes that I can increase RAM from 8 to 16. Now, can you please expand and tell me what I need to buy, and any other useful details? The laptop arrived yesterday, so tell me what I need to know. Thank you.

A: The computer has one RAM slot, so you'd need to buy a 16 gigabyte module to replace the 8 gigabyte currently installed. You'd need to get a 16 gigabyte DDR4-2666 to upgrade it.

Q: The Intel Core i3 how fast is it? Should I maybe go to a higher speed?

A: i3 processors are considered a mid-level leisurely series, perfect for browsing, streaming music and movies. i5 processors are ideal for more active clients who are multitasking, gaming, or managing a business/schooling. i7s are for those who are doing more dedicated business work, heavier gaming, programming, and more!

Q: can a remote mouse be used to move pointer?

A: Yes, you can connect a wireless or wired mouse to this laptop to move the pointer (cursor).

Q: Can this be used for a beginner gaming laptop?

A: You could do light gaming with this laptop, however it lacks a dedicated graphics card, which is what is needed for major PC gaming titles.

Q: Will it slow the computer down if you take it out of s mode?

A: No, it will not affect the performance of the laptop if you take it out of S Mode.
