  • 4-cell lithium-ion battery
  • Owner's manual

Q: Is the keyboard a backlit keyboard?

A: No, this laptop does not have a backlit keyboard.

Q: Is the screen a touchscreen?

A: No it's not a touch screen.

Q: What is the battery life (estimated hours) for this computer?

A: Probably 1.5 to 2 hours if you're gaming. Maybe 2-2.5 for videos. I'm not really sure otherwise.

Q: Is the ram expandable?

A: Kind of. It only have the one slot so you will have to take out the old ram and add new. So if you buy and 8GB card it won't double with the 8 already inside. I believe I read it can go up to 16 GB though.
