Q: The Specifications show DDR4, however, the Overview Features show DDR5 memory... Can anyone verify which one...

A: The official HP specs show that it's DDR5, so the spec showing DDR4 is incorrect. I've documented the discrepancy so that Best Buy can correct it.

Q: The RAM, which is said by a correspondent here which is upgradable to 32 RAM, is that easy to do in this laptop? It can be done easily by Gee Squad? What is the ballpark or approximate price of that kind of work? That upgrade will void any guaranty?

A: Hello, Nick. Thanks for your question. RAM is one of the easier components to replace. It does require removing the bottom cover of the laptop to access the motherboard. The instructions can be found on pages 33-35 of the Maintenance and Service Guide under the Manuals tab on this webpage: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-16.1-inch-gaming-laptop-16-k0000/2101129690/manuals Or you can have the Geek Squad at Best Buy upgrade the RAM for you. We recommend reaching out to the Geek Squad for the current pricing. As long as you are careful with the upgrade, it will not void the warranty. You will need to purchase the 32 GB DDR5-4800 RAM SODIMM (laptop) RAM. The model of this laptop is the HP OMEN 16-k0023dx. If you need further assistance, we recommend reaching out to HP Support: https://support.hp.com

Q: I do a lot of Photoshop work. Would this be a good choice for photography users?

A: Yes, it certainly would be a good choice. It's got fast 12th generation i7 processor, plenty of RAM for all but incredibly complex images, and a nice fast graphics card.

Q: Can the laptop battery be charged via the USB C ports on the back (albeit at a slower rate), or only through the charging port using the supplied charging brick?

A: Thank you for the question. Yes, in addition to the Smart Pin charger, the 16-k0023dx has Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports that support power delivery and HP Sleep and Charge.

Q: Can this 2560x1440 computer be hooked up to a 1920x1080 TV?

A: Yeah, I use it with a 24inch 144hz 1080p monitor via HDMI - works fine.

Q: Can this connect to an Xbox controller through wireless/Bluetooth? If not does it have a port for USB C hookup?

A: Yes! I bluetooth my Xbox series controller to it all the time. Playstation 4 and 5 controllers work too.

Q: Is there space for an internal hard drive?

A: Thank you for the question. No. Being a laptop, interior space is at a premium, and there is no room to add an HDD. You could connect an external drive.

Q: Would this be good for making Youtube videos?

A: Yes, it would be an excellent choice for making Youtube videos.
