Yes, absolutely the RAM and SSD are upgradable. They are NOT soldered in place... they pop in/out like a normal PC/Laptop. The laptop has two physical sockets for the RAM, both of which are populated with 8GB Samsung M425R1GB4BB0-CQKOL RAM sticks. (At least that's what came in mine.) I replaced them with two Corsair Vengeance DDR5 16GB 4,800 MHZ sticks (Best Buy SKU: 6516932) and it's been running just fine. Be advised that one of the RAM sticks has an adhesive wrap on it, which I assume is a thermal pad and thin heat sink... I simply moved it over to the new piece of RAM and snapped it into place. There are two M.2 slots inside, one of which is already populated with the 1TB drive. The 2nd slot is over by the RAM and already has a screw ready to mount your next NVMe drive. I just installed a WD Black SN850 4TB drive (Best Buy SKU: 6512129) and it's working like a champ! There are eleven screws that you will need to remove to get into the bottom of the laptop. Once removed, flip the laptop over and remove the rear cover piece by the screen/hinges. Use some small pry tools to gently pop them loose. Once that is done, flip it back over and start using the pry tools to get a gap started in the front area, then just gently work the tools around the sides and towards the back of the laptop. I've added some photos... hopefully they help paint the entire picture.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes ram is upgradable and not soldered in. It does have a second NVME slot. I upgraded my ram and added a 2tb Samsung 980 pro to mine. And you can switch from on board graphics to either advanced Optimus or to the Nvidia graphics card in the Nvidia control panel.
