Q: I love this laptop but I need more memory and this only comes with 1 tb. How much can I upgrade the memory?

A: This laptop has two ram slots and two m.2 slots so you can swap out both sticks of ram and add another gen 3 m.2 drive.

Q: when will this laptop be available.

A: January 26, 2021. It’s on my list too!

Q: I'm cross-shopping this compared to the ASUS 2021 G15 3080 32GB model. Use case being more for machine learning programming, and am looking for the best long-term reliability. Any recommendations? I know this has a slower CPU, but more GPU memory.

A: The higher VRAM is very important. I would recommend looking up some articles on this. There is a really good one that is updated at least once a year that discusses in depth the GPU choices, but there are also a fewer good older ones that confirm the vram importance. That being said, as a laptop variant I am not sure how fast any laptop GPU will be handling larger memory (>10 gigs) loads. The most in depth article I have read recommended the 3070 (so 8 gig) for a “serious” DL beginner.
