I suspect this answer will get removed, but here goes. Lenovo might want you to think the laptop is not user upgradeable, but that's not true. The laptop is easy to open - just remove the half-dozen or so phillips screws on the bottom and the bottom panel pops off with a tiny bit of prying. From there, there's a metal shield over the motherboard, held on with another four phillips screws. Take that off and you have access to upgrade the SSD, RAM, even the wifi card if you want. As a nice touch, the motherboard includes an M.2 slot along with the SATA connector, so you could have a SATA SSD and an M.2 SSD, or just M.2. I know this because I did it myself: I swapped the 128GB SATA SSD for a 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD. I didn't upgrade the RAM - unfortunately there's only one RAM slot, so you'd have to get a 16GB DDR4 SODIMM module. See the attached picture for what the inside looks like. As for this voiding your warranty, there were no "warranty void if removed" stickers. Even if there were, Google around and you'll see that such measures are illegal - Lenovo can't legally refuse to honor your warranty just because you upgraded your SSD. Bottom line: this laptop IS user upgradeable, and in fact I recommend giving it a shot. I enjoyed putting in a faster SSD and really pushing it to its limits. With that upgrade in place it's a screaming fast machine, and with the fast and power-efficient Ryzen chip this laptop is an excellent choice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This model is not user upgradable. All work on this device must be performed by a certified technician, so as to not void the warranty. Your certified technician can replace the existing solid state hard drive for a larger one. Regarding music product and DJ work, this will depend on the software you will need to use, its compatibility and requirements. We recommend you check with the specific software publisher web sites for the programs you will be using, for their compatibility with the Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements to run their program, then compare these requirements/compatibility with this system's configuration.
