Q: QuestionCan this 51M be delivered home?

Asked 5 years ago by Wanwan.

• A:Answer Yes, these are deliverable, and Best Buy is fantastic in their processing times. The issue, however, is the product. Good luck if you throw your money away on the A51. Received a brand-new, factory-sealed box with a non-functional device. Disservice line wasted hours flipping through manuals (could hear it over the phone) and the only thing they could do was take it back, assess the problem and give me a quote for repairs. NEVER EVER again. If you buy "D" you are surely going to get D'd.

Q: QuestionIs the ram and the graphics card upgradeable?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer In theory, yes, it can be upgraded, however, the question you should ask yourself is - will this excessively expensive device even work? Can't rely on their customer disservice. Definitely don't think you'll hang onto this laptop for a few years. They won't touch them if they are over 4 years old. Don't buy any product from this particular computer "manufacturer" .
