"Amazing laptop...After replacing the 512GB drive with Samsung 990 Pro 2TB and getting 64 GB DDR5 RAM (which is an overkill for the basic video editing I do) it is an absolute monster of a laptop. ...I had some issues when i tried uninstalling some of the bloatware so i had to factory reset it a few times and there is no additional expansion for an ssd but it gets work done and has a pretty great load time for common browsing and watching videos. Video games feel a little slow depending on your desk but it is worth it if its in sale"
