QuestionDoes it have slots to add another SSD (SATA or M.2) as second hard drive? And how much WHr battery does it have and what's the battery life?
Asked 7 years ago by Edward.
- Answer It does have a SATA based M.2 slot, NOT NVME, only M.2. The design capacity of the battery is 43,092 mWh according to win 10 battery report. Haven't tested the battery life but it's enough for me. Really wouldn't recommend this laptop, check out my review.

QuestionIs it touch screen? Does it have capacitive discharge? Does it fold back like a notebook? Can it withstand a high vibration environment?
Asked 7 years ago by Nahhhhhhhhh.
- Answer It is not touchscreen. Not sure what do you mean my capacitive discharge on a laptop. It does not fold like a notebook. Not sure if it could withstand that environment, but I really wouldn't recommend this laptop, check out my review under reviews for the product.

QuestionWhat kinds of games can this laptop run and how well do games run?
Asked 7 years ago by lettuce.
- Answer This is a low cost consumer web browsing and email device. You cannot expect to do any kind of meaningful gaming on it. It was not designed for that purpose. Fire Strike benchmark framerates are less than 30 FPS. The Radeon Vega 8 Mobile APU is very weak.

QuestionIs this a good computer for running Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc) and using the internet? I’d also be storing a lot of photos on the device. It’s possible I’d be loading Adobe Lightroom. No gaming whatsoever.
Asked 7 years ago by BCat85.
- Answer I guess for basic browsing it would be fine, but at the price I really think you could find better deals since you would still need to add a M.2 SATA SSD for this laptop to be adequate in my opinion. In general I really wouldn't recommend this laptop, check out my review under reviews for the product.

QuestionEven though the samsung notebook 5 is not purposed to play games on will it work well with games?
Asked 7 years ago by Nevaeh.
- Answer I use mine for AutoCAD, which takes quite a bit of bandwidth on a computer and it works flawlessly and is very stable. Streaming HD video also works great and it looks great. It seems like games would work okay with this laptop, but I don't recommend gaming with an onboard GPU, which is what this laptop has. If you are really looking for something that shines in that area, I recommend spending the extra $2-300 for a desktop that has a dedicated video card. A desktop will run cooler and be more stable for gaming.
