Here are the external I/O ports: 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate; 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate; 1 USB 2.0 Type-A (HP Sleep and Charge); 1 HDMI 2.0; 1 RJ-45; 1 AC smart pin; 1 headphone/microphone combo.
A:AnswerI checked the official specifications from HP, and there does appear to be a second memory slot. To be honest, it might be worth it to upgrade the included RAM from the CL22 to CL14 or CL16 in addition to adding a second SODIMM.
A:AnswerIf you gotten a Scuf controller that works with the PC, then you can use it with this laptop. I would recommend reaching out to Scuf to verify if your controller would work with the PC.
A:AnswerUSB-C itself can handle devices that use a USB-C for data. Thunderbolt 3 or DisplayPort over USB-C is not necessarily offered in all laptops. For this specific model, there is no indications of DisplayPort over USB-C being supported. So, SOME USB-C can support video, but not all.
A:AnswerYes, you can upgrade the existing 256 GB NVMe card with a higher card. There is no limit on the size as long as it is bigger than the one that is installed.
