- Owner's manual
A: Yes, the Intel chipset and CPU type can see up to 16GB's of DDR3L PC3-1600, w/ latency 11. The DIMM's are reachable by taking off the bottom plate. There are four screws located under the rear feet. Each foot has two screws. The front feet do not have any screws located under them. Use a credit card to break the shell apart and do it slowly. There is a cable for the side ports that is attached to the lower plate and it you remove it to quickly you will rip it apart.
Q: Can the hard drive be swapped to a SSD?
A: Yes. The HDD is reachable by taking off the bottom plate. There are four screws located under the rear feet. Each foot has two screws. The front feet do not have any screws located under them. Use a credit card to break the shell apart and do it slowly. There is a cable for the side ports that is attached to the lower plate and if you remove it to quickly you will rip it apart.
A: The fan on this laptop (or at least on my laptop) is always on. Its not very loud but its always on.
Q: Is the capability supported to install an optical drive?
A: This laptop does not have a bay to install an optical drive. However, you can purchase an external USB optical drive that will work just fine with this laptop. Here are some options: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dvd-bluray-drives/external-dvd-drives/pcmcat189600050009.c?id=pcmcat189600050009
Q: Is this computer restrictive like a tablet
A: The Satellite Radius 15 features Windows 8.1 so you will be able to download programs from the web browser and the Windows Store.
Q: does it have full 360 folding capacity
A: Yes it does, it folds all the way down and you can almost fold it at any angle.
Q: Have the widely reported WiFi issues been fixed on this model?
A: As the older version uses an Intel AC 7260 card, this newer iteration has an Intel AC 7265 card. I personally have no WiFi problems with it. As I don't have a 802.11ac router I connect via the 2.4GHz band and get my normal expected speed through several areas in my house. Check out this picture:
Q: any keyboard problems when using as a tablet?
A: No problems at all, whenever you fold it to use it as a tablet. The keyboard automatically disables and wont let you accidentally type up anything. I know because sometimes I have it on my lap folded and the only you can type when you're using it as a tablet is with the touchscreen keyboard.
