A:AnswerThis CPU has 4MB of L3 cache. A larger cache generally increases overall performance in otherwise similar processors. Results will vary depending on the workload.
A:AnswerThe 1660Ti Max-Q in this laptop is more than sufficient for playing World of Warcraft at max settings. Make sure you have Asus's ROG Armory Crate installed to set your power profile and keep the CPU from throttling.
A:AnswerIt should be able to handle all of those programs and applications with no issue. Please note that you will probably need to download and install Asus's ROG Armory Crate from the Microsoft Store and Asus's support website to make sure you can change power profiles and prevent the CPU from throttling on its Silent mode.
A:AnswerNo, your warranty would not be voided for doing so. I actually upgraded my storage to two 1TB PCIe x2 M.2 drives and it was worth it when my laptop was working properly.

A:AnswerThis computer is being used for gaming and was a warranty replacement for my Grandson. At the time I purchased this I was comparing to Asus RTX 2060 vs Max Q but didn't want to exceed a budget for it's purpose. There was a $400. difference in base price and I couldn't justify. The agent mentioned that if my grandson was crunching numbers and doing more graphics then we would consider another but for gaming this had everything he needed. I am a retired graphic designer and used Solidworks along with other 3d programs so carefully review the the software requirements. The Asus is a lighter weight laptop compared to HP/others and the pricing might provide more options. Do your homework with respect to software compatibility. Good luck! It's always a process and trade-off with graphic regeneration speed, memory and cost.
A:AnswerThis model used a Samsung make RAM module afaik. Did you try looking if they have it. But I think the model they used for this was costly even for 8 gigs.
