A:AnswerThis laptop has a 1 TB SSD drive. One TB stands for Terabyte which is 1000 GB so it is twice what your college student needs/requested. And SSD stands for Solid State Drive which means there are no moving parts which is faster and more durable than the other type of hard drive. This device is a bit on the smaller side which has pros and cons. I like it because it is very light and can actually be used in tablet mode. Larger laptops have a bigger screen but can be heavy and way too clumsy to use in tablet mode.
This machine is also super fast! I would've loved to have one when I was in school.

A:AnswerNo, the operating system comes pre installed from the factory, the only way you could have it upgraded is by purchasing the version of Windows Pro.
A:AnswerI would say yes, if you use an external monitor. The device is a bit on the smaller size but has enough processor power to do the task. And a heads up, it only has 2 Thunderbolt ports which are NOT USB ports. You will need to get an adapter/hub to connect an HDMI and use USB devices.
A:AnswerThis specific laptop is built with two USB-C ports in order to allow for it to be thinner. It comes with a USB-C to USB 2.0 adapter in the box, so you will be able to connect your flash drive with the adapter.

A:AnswerNo, the battery is built-in in this this laptop. The 4-cell refers to the configuration of the battery. The battery can be accessed only after opening the chassis of the laptop. The battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions and can significantly reduce under certain power-intensive conditions.
A:AnswerWhen people ask for a USB port they are usually referring to a regular USB 2 or USB 3 ... This one doesn't have any regular USB ports, this one only offers USB-C which is not the square one. This unit doesn't have a built in HDMI port either ... You would need a dongle to convert USB-C into whatever you need.
