“When adding more SSD storage, can i leave the 512GB that came installed and add a 1TB to the empty slot? Or does each slot have to have the same amount? Also, does this come with one 16GB stick of DDR5 memory or two 8GB? I’ve seen it mentioned both ways.”

Yes, I just dropped in a spare 1TB I had, very simple. It has 2 8GB which was hard to find out. Thought it had 1 and had to buy 2 16GB to upgrade to 32GB. Great platform.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can leave the preinstalled 512GB SSD and add a 1TB to the empty SSD slot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't know about other purchases of this laptop, but according to 3rd party software, the laptop came with 16 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz (Dual 2800 MHz) RAM by Micron Technology. So I am assuming that it supports a maximum of 5600 MHz, not 4800 MHz, as listed on the specifications for upgrades. The maximum GB upgrade it should be able to support is 64 GB. Also, it also lists the SSD upgrade being limited by PCI 3.0 when in fact it is actually PCI 4.0, according the original packaging and third-party software.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.SSD drive size doesn’t matter, can be different. For RAM best practice is to stick to same brand/model/size to take advantage of “dual channel mode”… with that said, you likely won’t notice any difference.
