Whats Included

Q: Can you upgrade to a hard drive since the laptop only comes with a 256gb ssd as the memory?
A: The SSD is a M.2 drive. So it has a 2.5inch bay that you can either put another SSD or HDD in.
Q: Is the laptop able to upgrade the storage? Keeping the ssd and getting a hard drive???
A: Yes. It has an empty 2.5in drive bag that allows you to easily add a 2.5in SSD or regular hard drive. The included SSD is a PCIe type so it leaves the 2.5in bay free to use however you wish. I intend to keep the included SSD for a speedy boot drive and install a regular 2TB hard drive along with it for file storage and games that don’t need SSD type speed.
Q: Is the 8gb off ram one stick of 8 or two sticks of 4?
A: Yes, the ram is 2x4gb. So 2 sticks of 4GB.
Q: Is the screen touch enabled?
A: No. The screen is a matte finish, IPS panel. It has a beautiful picture, but could stand to be a bit brighter, in my opinion.
Q: What is the R/W speed of the 256gb SSD?
A: The SSD drive is a card in the M.2 slot and it's a decent SSD. I get about 460 MB/s read and right using the BlackMagic Hard Drive Speed Test. Like most drives the speed can vary from one cycle of the test to the other. I see figures from 380 to almost 500 and not sure why this is but it seems to be good average of 430ish. I just installed a PNY mid level SSD into the open hard drive caddy next to the M.2 slot and the testing was about the same. I'm happy with those figures on both drives as it will be more than enough for my 1080p video editing. I have the 970 EVO M.2 in my Alienware Desktop PC and getting outrages speeds there of 1500+MB/s !!!
Q: Has anyone successfully installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
A: I have not, but that doesn't even matter because a quick google search of Ubuntu Certified Hardware shows that this model has officially been awarded the status of certified pre-install for Ubuntu. Which means Dell can sell it with Ubuntu pre-installed, and you can just as easily install it.
Q: Can the ram in the laptop be upgraded to 16GB?
A: Yes, it can be upgraded up to 32GB (2x16)
Q: Is the included power adapter 110volt or 220volt?
A: The input in that adapter is from 100v to 240v
