A:AnswerDepends on the games you want to play. Go to the vendors' websites for those games and get the recommended hardware specs (especially storage and video) - then do a comparison. That way you will know 100% for sure. This is a great home and school laptop. If you are a serious gamer, I'd recommend for you to look at the Alienware laptops Dell sells.
A:AnswerThis laptop, like many others, comes loaded with Windows 11 in 'S' mode. After switching out of S mode, you will have the standard version of Windows 11 (Windows 11 Home). S mode is an enhanced security version of Windows 11 Home, so when you switch out, you remove the restrictions that limit you to installing apps from the Microsoft Store and gain the ability to install apps from any source.

A:AnswerThis is not a gaming laptop for say. It will run simple games but does not have the RAM, storage, nor video power to run most of the high level games (such as first person shooters). It is perfect for home and school use. Look at the Alienware laptops sold by Dell for gaming laptops - only downside is Alienware laptops are not cheap.
A:AnswerThank you for highlighting this information. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The device features FHD display and not 2K. We will update the necessary changes to the title.
A:AnswerA. Unlike desktops, laptops have absolutely NO spare room inside (OK, maybe 1/8" here and there), so if a laptop comes without an optical drive, you have a 99% chance that it will NOT accept the addition. This is true across all brand names, both old and new models, and all price points. Even Framework laptops, which are famous for their customization, upgrade, and repair capacity, won't accommodate one.
So if you must have an optical drive, your reasonable options are to 1) search for used/refurbished models, 2) look at one of the few new models (usually larger, budget-friendly, or business-oriented machines), 3) get an external, portable drive. Of course, if money is no object, I am sure you can find a technician who will build one for you from the ground up with both an optical drive (or even two) plus the newest technology.
B. As to the second part of your question: a quick search showed that you can upgrade the RAH and SSD to at least 64 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD.
A:AnswerMy search found you can upgrade to 64 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD. However, this is NOT the Dell official spec, but based on other people's experience.
