- Owner's manual
Q: Is this laptop capable of reading CD-R and CD-RW discs?
A: Yes. Any time you see a current drive that says it a DVD-RW drive, it should be able to read any type of CD or DVD (CD, CD-R, DVD, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW), with the exception of Blu-Ray or other high definition video type discs. If you want Blu-Ray, make sure you see that it says that it is supported specifically.
A: Mine came with Windows 10 installed from the factory
Q: DVD movies
A: Get VLC media player. Google it. Free and plays back many different types of media including DVD's.
A: No, the laptop is super quiet, even when I'm pushing it hard while gaming or streaming. There's no noticeable noise at all - a few times I've thought it turned itself off, actually, but the screen had just gone off, the laptop was still on.
A: It can have a maximum of 12gb of ram installed according to the specs, and it already has the expansion bay for it.
Q: Does anyone have a problem seeing the keyboard letters? Mine just look like silver buttons.
A: If you hit the fn+f4 key, that should turn on the key back lighting. Hitting fn+f3, will turn it down, then off. Hitting either combo will go through the 4 steps - off, low, middle, high. Hope that works for you!
Q: Are these speakers easy to hear
A: The speakers that are built in are pretty loud and when you plug in the provided sub, it is overwhelmingly loud!!
A: It was relatively easy. Opening the case is very easy - take out all the screws and pop off the back cover revealing everything. There are helpful youtube videos that show this. There are no extra bays so you will need to do the clone with an external cable or by using a DVD replacement hard drive bay. I bought a Samsung EVO 512 GB SSD and their software would not clone it on Windows 10. I ended up buying Acronis TrueImage (need version 16) and it was quick and easy. The SSD made it super fast! I believe it was a 2.5" 9mm drive.
