A:AnswerDoes not have standard Ethernet jack but does have a mini port that may be used for same thing with some type of converter. Not really sure but see attached photo.
A:AnswerI am not familiar with the other model you mention but this computer would work well for moderate gaming. For more hardcore gaming you really need a model with a dedicated GPU like one from NVIDIA or AMD.
A:AnswerIf you wish to add more storage you would have to replace the preinstalled 256GB M.2 drive. There are no SATA connectors or mounting hardware for a 2.5" drive.
A:AnswerYes, this computer has Bluetooth which NEVER needs a dongle. You can use wireless products that use a dongle as well (those devices are wireless but NOT Bluetooth).
A:AnswerYes, straight out of the box. We had a Geek Squad appt to transfer from previous laptop and told them about the problem when we dropped it off. The tech pulled an older model charger and cord and swapped them. This one has not gotten abnormally warm. The replacement is one piece cord and charger whereas the original had two cords. I'm not sure if that was the issue. The replacement charger itself is a bit bigger, perhaps it's a tad more robust.
A:AnswerThis is not a bad option to consider, though depending on your video content and what resolution you want play-back to be in, we would recommend a model with higher graphics processing capability, and more storage (or an external hard drive).
