A:AnswerNo, you will need to purchase an external DVD drive, available at Best Buy for between $30 and $62 at the time of writing. Dell's DW316 is also currently on sale for $29.99 at Best Buy as I write this.
A:AnswerIt comes with Windows 11 and the normal Microsoft apps (Edge, Photos, Mail, Paint, Xbox app, etc.). Mine also had a few trial apps, but most extra software needs to be installed or activated separately.
A:AnswerIt’s not a 14th gen processor, it uses an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U (2023). Storage is SSD and way over 50GB Mine came with a 1TB SSD Some models offer a 512GB option.
A:AnswerMine came with regular Windows 11 Home (not S Mode). Some versions of this model can ship in S Mode, but this configuration is typically the full version of Windows.
A:AnswerYes, it can handle 3D drawing for basic to moderate projects (like AutoCAD or SketchUp). Just don’t expect top performance for heavy 3D rendering or very complex models since it uses integrated graphics.
A:AnswerMinecraft runs fine. Spider-Man 2 isn’t really suitable for this laptop, it needs a dedicated graphics card, so performance would be very limited or not playable. I have provided results from systemrequirmentslabs.com for Minecraft and both Spider-Man 2 titles.
A:AnswerNo, not really. Spider-Man 2 requires a dedicated graphics card (like a GTX 1650 or better). This laptop uses integrated graphics, so it won’t run the game properly.
A:AnswerThe USB-C port on this model doesn’t support video output, so it won’t run a monitor. You can use HDMI for one screen, and for a second you’ll need a USB-to-HDMI (DisplayLink) adapter or dock.
