A:AnswerYo have to remove the motherboard and flip it over. The memory and 2nd M.2 slot are there.The M.2 slot has a screw in it already. Cover screws are hex and internal Philips. I found no schematics. The M.2 that comes with it is a OEM Samsung and has the OS on it. I added the 2nd M.2 and upped the memory to 32GB. See a better explanation on the process in the review I did for it.
A:AnswerStorage and memory are upgradeable. Internal components such as GPU and CPU are not upgradeable on the laptop products. The LCD panel is IPS, 500NIT, 3ms response time, 1200:1, sRGB 100%, 8 bit color depth.
A:AnswerHello MichaelNYC. Thank you so much for your question. Based on the information provided by the manufacturer, this Acer Predator Triton PT516-51s-70TP laptop weighs approximately 5.40 lb.
Thank you for choosing Intel!
A:AnswerNot certain about BIOS set up for RAID, I'm not the tech geek I was, but in this unit the motherboard is installed upside down so it has to be removed even to access the battery! I was impressed I could put two more hard drives in when I combed through the specs, well good luck with THAT.
A:AnswerIf you are doing basic task like browsing the internet or watching a video yes. If you are doing any gaming or putting any workload on the laptop no. I had it directly on my lap while playing tetris connect and it got pretty warm. The laptop wasn't too hot but the exhausr on my legs was hot. I would recommend a lap desk or barrier. I checked the laptop and it was at about 72 degrees C. When i finished playing.
A:AnswerWhile you can use other brands, the M.2 SSD brands that were tested/qualified by Acer were Samsung and Quimonda. You might also post your question on the Acer Community where there are many users that post questions and offer help and advice on Acer products.
