Product Manuals
Q: What is the refresh rate on the screen and does it has the option for ram upgrades?
A: HP Team confirmed it's 16GB per slot with a total off 32GB supported.. see screenshot.
A: This was very confusing to me as well as the is different information all over the place. When checking the Max Physical Memory via Command Prompt, I was surprised to show 67GB, indicative of being able to hold two 32GB sticks
A: appears to be Samsung DDR4 3200Mhz. which I can't find anywhere.
Q: Does this Laptop have an open mount for a 2nd SSD?
A: Unfortunately, it doesn't have a free bay for a 2.5" SSD, and there isn't a second available slot for an additional VNMe m.2 SSDl
Q: would you be able to play warzone on here? and if so at what fps?
A: I get around 130 frames and latency is at 50 consistently.game plays so smooth on these laptops.i get that its not high end but it plays any game i want flawlessly so far with great graphics
Q: Is is a good laptop for a college student?
A: You would want to base it off of the requirements of the software for the classes that are being taken. This laptop is designed around gaming and would be good for 3D rendering and some types of art design. If it is more about coding without the renders, you might want something with an i7 and not go with a GPU. Then you have things like AI design which might require higher specs based on what programs are being used and how they want the AI developed. If you have the information about the classes and what software is required, you can also take that to the Best Buy computer team and have them help you figure out what might be the best option for you.
Q: What is the Speed of the SSD speed? Specs say that two USB's are 3.0, what is the speed of the 3rd?
A: Thank you for your questions, Ken! This laptop has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C port (supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HP Sleep and Charge), 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A port (supports HP Sleep and Charge), and 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A port (no additional supports). All three are SuperSpeed with a 5Gbps signaling rate. The SSD speed is not listed in the specs but it is a 512 GB 2280 PCIe-4x4 NVMe TLC M.2 SSD.
Q: Does this laptop come with dual channel memory or single channel memory?
A: 1 stick of Dual channel memory is installed (8gb Samsung 3200 DDR4), with one open slot for expansion. Memory is expandable to 64gb.
