Q: Does Best Buy offer ram upgrades services. Like if I purchased the laptop from Best Buy and had a ram upgrade for the laptop would they install it?

A: Geek Squad AFAIK offers upgrades but that is paid service. But truth be told, It's easy to upgrade this laptop yourself, Just unscrew all 11 screws and pry open. (Note: It's easier if you start prying at the ethernet connector side.) I've upgrade my Nitro to 2TB NVMe.2 and a 2TB SATA SSD and also to 32 GB of RAM myself.

Q: Can I change the keyboard color?

A: The keyboard backlight on this Nitro model is red only.

Q: Can it run Forza Horizon 5 well

A: YES, this video card is awesome !

Q: Does this laptop charge with a USB-C cord, and does the laptop come with a charging cord?

A: No it doesn't come with USB c cord Yes it comes with a charger I recommed keeping it on the charger at all times because of the short battery life. The cord is long enough to go across your room. Overall great gaming laptop

Q: The listing shows 4, ddr4 slots, however when I went to add another 2 I cant find them nor can I find anything online about them having them. Am I missing something or is it written wrong?
