  • 3-cell battery

Q: Can I add a m2 ssd to this laptop ? in addition to the 1TB HDD.

A: YES, you absolutely can add an M.2 SSD to this. When you unscrew the bottom and removed it, there is a clearly marked spot for a 2280mm M.2 SSD and it works very well. I purchased this laptop from BB for my wife's birthday and added m.2 and 2.5in SSD and she is very pleased. Please note that removing the bottom and adding anything immediately voids your warranty. I am not concerned with this since I work in IT and am extremely confident in my tech skills.

Q: is this an i5 Skylake processor?

A: It's an 8th gen i5 Kaby Lake Refresh processor (quad core, eight threads). Supposedly they're 80-100% faster than 7th gens.

Q: Is it a windows 10 operating system?

A: Yes, this laptop has Windows 10 operating system.

Q: How many usb ports? Name please

A: this particular model (q505au) has three usb ports, one hdmi port, a usb-c port, as well as an SD card slot and a mic/headphone jack

Q: does it take movies and pictures and how good is the resolution? Does it have a flash and is the camera reversible?

A: It does not have a rear facing camera so any and all pictures must be taken facing the screen. I do not know if it takes video and I do not know the resolution of the camera. However camera specs should be in detailed product description. I believe the main purpose of the camera is video chatting not professional photography. The laptops screen resolution though is a clear 1080p.

Q: Hi regarding product Model: Q505UA-BI5T7SKU: 6077501 I note in the specifications that the keyboard is not Backlit. However in the reviews it suggests that the Keyboard is backlit. Can you confirm which one to be correct. regards Mark
