Q: Has a backlight keyboard ??
A: It does not have a backlight keyboard.
Q: Is this 10th generation? Or 11th?
A: No, this is an AMD chip, not an Intel chip. It is in the lower/cheaper half of the Ryzen 2nd gen 3000 series, which followed the Zen and Zen+ chips and was succeeded by the Zen 3 5000 series and Zen 3+ 6000 series, and lately the Zen 4 7000 series CPUs. It is still produced, most often in the Ryzen 3 3250U model and Ryzen 3 3250C model. The former (in this laptop) is for Windows laptops, and the latter is for Chromebook laptops. If you buy this thing, you definitely want to buy the appropriate 8 GB RAM stick to bump it to 16 GB (or at least a 4 GB to bump it to 12 GB). These days, Windows eats up 2GB right from the get-go just with bloatware, leaving you 6 GB to work with, and count on bloatware growth to cut that down to 4 GB left soon. The 3250 is only 2 cores and fairly slow, but memory shortage out of the box is really the bigger issue. With a memory bump, this could be OK for web browsing and document creation. Don't plan on running demanding games tho.
Q: Would this be able to run Adobe Photoshop?
A: Yes, this laptop will run Adobe Photoshop with limitation. This will not meet photo-editing projects that requires a high-end graphics controller,
Q: Will this laptop support Roblox Studio? This where you can create actual games.
A: Yes. However it may struggle depending on the amount and size of models and effects you create.
Q: Can I attach an external monitor with a hemi connection?
A: Yes, you can connect a HDMI connection.
Q: Is the RAM expandable? If so, how much RAM can this laptop handle?
A: Yes, the RAM is expandable or upgradeable. A RAM slot is available and it supports an 8GB RAM module maximum size.
A: This laptop has a M.2 2280 NVMe SSD.
A: It has a Radeon RX Vega 3 iGPU (that's integrated GPU built into the chip) with 3 Compute Units, which at the time represented 192 shaders clocking at 1.2 GHz. If you want a really nice AMD iGPU, stick to laptops with the 6700U or 6800U (or better) in the 6000 series, or the higher models in the new 7000 laptop series (yet to come out). A Vega iGPU will tide you over until you can get an AMD processor having an RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 iGPU, which honestly are as fast as low-end discrete GPUs of yesterday. You will not be doing significant gaming using the iGPU in the Ryzen 3 3250U.
