Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
There are different CPU options available, but the one we got has an i7-1255U, and 16 GB of RAM. The RAM is soldered on the board is not not user upgradable. This is a power limited, mobile processor and works perfectly fine on the dual-channel LPDDR3 memory soldered to it. The memory is fast enough for that CPU.
