A:AnswerYes, You can update the size of the Solid State Drive, just keep in mind that you will need to re-install Windows 10 since the SSD in this model is used for booting the operating system.
A:AnswerNot sure on the open box for just 100$ less than the original price. But the computer is really nice. It is super quiet and the fan only kicks on high speed very few times and for very veey short times. When it does kick on it isn't that noisy. Computer is super fast and smooth. I have McAfee anti virus and a VPN. I have had no problems with this laptop for the 3 months I've owned it. I use it for music production. I have 2 music software programs with tons of sound packs and instrument packs and have not had any issues. No lagging or glitching like my last laptop.
A:AnswerMine also came with both slots full ( 2x 8gb). You can check yours by opening task manager. Go to memory, look for the configuration, either 2 x 8 or 1 x 16.
A:AnswerThis computer is massively overpowered for running Quickbooks. You can do that with a $300 Intel Core i3 model. Just make sure you get one with at least 8GB of memory.
