A:AnswerI've only seen the temps get up to 67C under synthetic load (Cinebench R20). One large intake vent on the underside of the laptop, and one large exhaust vent in the screen hinge.
A:AnswerUSB-C is solely for USB purposes and not thunderbolt. Connecting a monitor requires thunderbolt, so you're stuck with one unless you use a usb-to-hdmi adapter of some sort
A:AnswerI'm sorry that there's been some confusion and a wrong answer given. We really try and avoid that. Looking at the official HP specs, it does not show it as an IPS display, so it is not.
A:AnswerYou can upgrade the RAM up to 32 GB DDR4-3200 (2 slots). And you can upgrade the existing 256 GB PCIe NVMeM.2 SSD. In addition, there is one available M.2 slot for another solid state drive on this laptop.
A:AnswerOffice 2010 will work just fine on this computer, which is running Windows 10. Office 2003 is not supported-it may run or it may not, but to have a chance you'll have to run it in "compatibility mode"
A:AnswerThe memory module you want to look for is 8GB DDR4 3200MHz PC4-25600 1.2V 1Rx8 260-Pin SODIMM Laptop RAM Memory Module M471A1K43DB1-CWE made by Samsung.
This is the same as the single stick of RAM already installed.
HP has the manual on the website that gives you directions on how to remove the bottom cover and install/replace memory.
It is very easy to do and should take you all of 10 minutes once you get the new RAM.
A:AnswerHello, thank you for the question. Yes, the Pavilion 15-ec1073dx Gaming Laptop would be your solution for a gaming computer that could also handle work. With 8GB of RAM, a dedicated graphics card, and an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, it should perform well.
