A:AnswerThe laptop supports non-ECC, unbuffered DDR5-4800 SODIMM, a maximum of 16GB per slot. With 2 RAM slots available, maximum RAM supported is 32GB. It supports 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 SSD per SSD slot, 2 slots available.
A:AnswerYes you can, very easily- I would suggest a Samsung drive however as WD M.2's have shown to prematurely fail. I.e. all your data is GONE.
BUT YES!, this laptop is very easily upgradable for any entry level user - they've made it so easy you can upgrade all the storage and memory in 15minutes or less.
A:AnswerThere are two fans. During normal use (office work), this unit is silent and I don't hear fans spin up. During game fans noise is noticeable and the 2 fans do a good job of cooling the laptop.
The fans suck cool air from the bottom and vents out the back.
