Storage
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 256 gigabytes
- Solid State Drive Capacity: 256 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
- Solid State Drive Interface: PCIe (Connects the solid state drive to the host system. PCI and SATA interfaces are the most common; PCI interfaces are typically faster, but SATA interfaces are compatible with a wider range of systems.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2400 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
Connectivity
- Headphone Jack: true (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: Does this model have the read/write DVD-CD drive?

A: Yes, this computer does have a read/write CD/DVD drive built in.

Q: It says 3 USBs, but 2 are A type and the third is C. Not sure what C is. Will a regular scan disk USB fit in all 3? Is there a plug for ethernet cable, too?

A: Yes, you can put a USB flash drive in any of those USB ports. There is an ethernet port on this laptop.

Q: does this laptop have a windows 10 OS

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

Q: Does this laptop have a backlit keyboard?

A: NO

Q: Is this HP laptop noisy. My last purchase of an HP laptop was so noisy, I could hear it running in the next room. Nothing worked to quiet the laptop down. Maybe HP runs hot and the fan must run constantly?

A: No that is not typical.

Q: Can the memory be upgraded to 1TB?

A: The storage can be upgraded to 1 terabyte, but since there isn't a second drive bay in the computer, you'd need to replace the existing solid state drive with one with higher capacity.

Q: is the webcam/video quality decent on this laptop for video conferencing?

A: Yes, this laptop is a great choice for video conferencing, with an HD webcam.

Q: Would you recommend this laptop to use for online college classes?
