Product Manuals

Q: Which battery is in this product? The 66mwh or 44mwh?

A: This model has the 66Whr battery.

Q: is the ssd storage upgradeable in the future and if so how far can it go?

A: I added a second SSD. A 1 TB drive. One major drawback was the fact that ASUS partition the C drive in such a way that it was hard to partition easily. On the question of how far it can go, meaning, how much memory you can add, depends on the operating system. And how you want to partition the drives depends on the skills and software tools you have. The good thing is that with two sockets, it will be easier to clone.

Q: 24 run time , really ?? is the Ethernet 10 a misprint ?

A: Laptopmag.com rates EB's battery life third best: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/all-day-strong-longest-lasting-notebooks
