- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 5400 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- Connectivity
- Headphone Jack: true (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: IS THE MEMORY UP GRADEABLE AND HOW MUCH.
A: No not really. See my review here: https://youtu.be/KW9jc_8-9fM as I show the internals. It has 8GB, of which 4GB appears to be integrated into the motherboard. There is only one SO-DIMM slot visible. In CPU-Z it only registers one memory slot as well. The only thing you can do in terms of an upgrade is add an M.2 SATA SSD. The stock HDD is fine for data, but it is pathetically slow for the OS. It appears the M.2 slot does not support NVMe. I can find no documentation on this, but I tried a 960 Pro in the M.2 slot and it was not recognized in the BIOS or in Windows.
A: yes
A: Press down on the lower portion of the port opening and it will bend far enough without damage while you insert the connector.
A: No, you can ONLY replace the 4GB stick with a 8GB stick for a total of 12GB of max possible ram. Confirmed with samsung support. I really wouldn't recommend this laptop, check out my review under reviews for the product.
Q: Does the keys or keyboard have the ability to light up?
A: Nope. Very unfortunate. That is a feature I missed seeing on this one. After many years of using a backlit keyboard it kind of sucks to not have that.
A: I chose an 860 Evo 1tb and have not looked back.
Q: Will this laptop be good enough to make music on Ableton Live 9 Suite?
A: Yes this laptop is able to run ableton live. It can run Adobe Premere Pro for a baseline
Q: Can you use stylus pen with this laptop?
A: Unfortunately no. The screen is just standard. Uhd however not touch screen.
