A:AnswerThere would surely be an HDMI out port. And I have noticed the elimination of VGA Outputs on a lot of new PC's. As far as Multiple monitors, have not worked with this aspect yet. I will try updating you soon as I have a project identifying the do's and don't using multiple monitors completed.

A:AnswerWe can confirm that there is 1-8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM installed. There are 2 slots that can be upgraded up to 32 GB DDR4-2666. There is no Optane Memory installed on this laptop.
A:AnswerUnless you want to spend $800.00 for a Killer Video card my 1050 ti in my Acer Nitro 5 is The Best Laptop Video card I have ever purchased. Just to mention the "ti" in 1050 ti helps in 3D video applications. There are other Pro's as well that I reviewed but do not recall them as this was over a years ago.
Sorry ! But I have not dedicate enough time to "GIVE ALL DETAILS". Sorry but just being an MCSE and Director of another Remote Desktop applications project my time is spread thin.
As far as the "unable to upgrade memory beyond 8 GB". I will be upgrading my Nitro 5 from 8 to 16 GB Soon. NEVER heard this one yet so I do expect it to work. I will update you when I install the additional 8 GB. Sorry I do not test and report back on items such as Hinges.
