    • Number Of Memory Slots: 2
    • Number of Memory Sticks Included: 2
  • Graphics
    • Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)

    Overpriced

    Bought this thing thinking itd be alright. Over priced junk is what it is. You’d think having it cost over $2000 after taxes itd hace a premium feel to it. Nope keyboard felt cheep and so did the trackpad. Quickly returned for HP Omen
