Q: can i add memory to this laptop ?

A: Thank you for your question! The HP Victus Gaming Laptop (16-d0023dx) can have its memory increased! It comes with two 4 GB DDR4-2933 MHz RAM sticks in the two available memory sockets. It can support up to 32GB of memory.

Q: Can the SSD be replaced? If so, is it PCIe Gen 3 or Gen 4?

A: It can. It’s a little difficult to open the bottom of the computer. It’s held together with some clips. You have to really get the pry tool in there. Other than that, there are TWO M.2 slots in the machine. One is the default one with the OS on it then there is another slot for a secondary drive. That’s it. There is not a SATA drive slot. I bought a 1 TB M.2 for mine for game storage. I just wish it weren’t such a pain to open

Q: You say the RAM can be upgraded from 8GB to 32GBs but what is the maximum MHz speed of those two 16GB Ram cards that can be added? Any specific recommendation by HP that maximizes this laptop setup’s performance. Possibly from Best Buy or elsewhere?

A: The most you can get would be 3200 mHz, but be careful as most RAM needs to be overclocked using XMP for its advertised values, which the Victus doesn’t have access to. I bought the PNY XLR8 3200 Mhz 16GB(2x8GB) on Best Buy for 57.99$ at the time of writing this, because it doesn’t require XMP

Q: What is the screen refresh rate on the newer Victus? I believe the older model was 60 Hz.

A: Hello. Thanks for your question. This Victus by HP Laptop 16-d0023dx has a refresh rate of 60 Hertz.

Q: Is this computer good for music production

A: Have not tried this yet, I do like this computer thou..Best wishes and let me know how you succeeded please

Q: It says it has backlit keys, but can you customize the colors?

A: Hi Tori, thank you for the question. The backlight keyboard on the Victus by HP 16-d0023dx is not customizable, however you could connect an external gaming keyboard. For example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-k70-rgb-mk-2-low-profile-rapidfire-full-size-wired-mechanical-cherry-mx-low-profile-speed-switch-gaming-keyboard-black/6298657.p?skuId=6298657

Q: Is this display IPS?

A: Thank you for the question. Yes, the Victus by HP 16-d0023dx has an FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, micro-edge, anti-glare display, 250 nits.
