“I have two questions. This states that it has the RTX 2070 Max-Q, but on the site it states that it has the RTX 2070. Also, if I wanted to upgrade the ram I would use a 16gb DDR4 3200mhz, how do I go about putting it in the laptop? Step by step please.”

It is the 2070 Max-q which is a less powerful variant of the 2070. To replace the ram you need to remove the bottom panel of the laptop by removing several screws. I would recommend watching a general video about upgrading laptop ram as there is no video on this particular model I can find. There is a video from Dave2D you can find on youtube where he shows you what the board will look like when you get the back panel off for this model. The video is called “the best gaming laptops from asus” it’s from about one month ago at the time of this post. he goes over 3 laptops and this is the second one in the video. The exposed board is right before the 6 minuet mark in the video. 8gigs are replaceable but the other 8 are soldered to the motherboard so you will always have 8gigs+ what ever you put into the one upgradable slot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it is the RTX 2070 with Max-Q. Upgrading the RAM is also possible, it has an open slot, you only have to remove the 15 screws from the bottom of the laptop, carefully pop the base off, and the RAM slot is right there waiting for you. I bought the 16GB version and pulled an extra 8GB stick I had in the laptop I bought this one to replace it with. Overall - a great machine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It comes with the max q variant, and to upgrade it, you'd have to take the bottom off and install the ram, you could probably find a tutorial easily. :)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This specific model has the 2070 Max Q. One stick of ram is already soldered onto the motherboard. You’d need to purchase one single stick if you’re trying to upgrade. Usual steps, remove the screws at the bottom of the laptop, one of the bottom ones is captive, so it won’t come out all the way, don’t freak out and think it’s stripped like I did. You’ll see your single stick of ram, just pop it out by opening the clips and insert the new ram stick, make sure the little opening on the ram stick matches what’s in the laptop so you don’t force it in the wrong way and that’s it. Pretty simple stuff. I would also invest in a good laptop cooler as these laptops tend to run extremely hot.
