Asked 7 months ago by FunFractals.

• A:Answer Hey FunFractals, You can choose to swap out the drive yourself and upgrade the memory (to 64GB DDR5-4800, based on test for product readiness), if you'd like; although, we usually recommend all work technical done with our products be done by a certified technician. The two USB-A ports support USB 5Gbps, one USB-C supports USB 10Gbps, and the USB-4 USB-C port supports 40GBps. If you're using the HDMI 2.1 port for video output, the maximum output supported is 4K/60Hz. Replacing the system battery is generally best if left to certified technicians, as any damages done outside of our customer care can void your warranty coverage. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Q: QuestionMy son is majoring in Computer science. Will this support all of the programing software he will need to install?

Asked 4 months ago by compsci.

• A:Answer Hi there, This ThinkBook may support the software, but we cannot verify this, as each application has its own system requirements which details the minimum and recommended specifications for a computer to have in order to run their software and what systems may run it proficiently. If you have the names of the software your son may be using or any system requirements shared by the college institution, please post another question in the Q&A section of any product's webpage that you're interested in, and we'd be happy to help! Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

Q: QuestionCan 2 external monitors function with this laptop? Just to clarify that is 2 external monitors so including the monitor on the laptop itself that total would be 3.

Asked 10 months ago by Jeff.

• A:Answer Most people don't talk about this anymore, but when USB 3.0 first came out, there were adapters for HDMI allowing support A/V plus touch on external monitors with the right adapter. You can get video up to 4K from USB 3.0 Type-A from Kensington, Eaton, other manufacturers. Lower resolution displays will allow it to offer greater functionality. I hope this helps, FunFractals

Q: Questioncan the wifi 6 be upgraded to 6E or 7

Asked 11 months ago by dug.

• A:Answer I would say if you can gain access to the Wi-Fi M.2 slot inside, then you can swap out the slower expansion card for something faster. It really should be no different from swapping out RAM or a crappy SSD. I hope this helps, FunFractals

Q: QuestionDoes the camera include FHD 1080p & infrared (IR) with webcam privacy shutter

Asked 1 year ago by Mahfuz.

• A:Answer Are you willing to buy an external webcam to mount to the top of your display? That would give you the best results. Then you can use a 4K webcam with any of the USB ports. I hope this helps, FunFractals

Q: QuestionDid I see that this unit does NOT have a front facing camera to use with video calls?

Asked 1 year ago by Barry.

• A:Answer There is a notch at the top of the display. Usually indicates that an internal webcam is housed inside. For the best results, you may want to get an external USB 3.x powered webcam for mounting to the top of the display. This gives you the greatest options. Why settle for Full HD when you can spring for a 4K webcam? I hope this helps, FunFractals
