Q: QuestionHow many SSD slots does this laptop have?

Asked 1 year ago by AJ.

• A:Answer This laptop has the 2 slots. It has the one that the Windows 11 is installed on (kind of hard to swap out because of metal frame that surrounds the SSD) and 1 additional open PCIE 3.0 slot for an additional M.2 NVME SSD (easy to install). You can install a Samsung 980 Pro and it will work just fine. You will need to buy the screw to secure the SSD separately because it's not included with the system. You will also need a T5 torx screwdriver tip and a spuder or pick to open the system and to the upgrade, but it's totally worth it!

Q: QuestionWhat is the Ram configuration on this laptop and how many empty Ram slots are available?

Asked 2 years ago by Cilus.

• A:Answer The answer by ASUS to this question, while not technically false, is ambiguous. There are two memory modules on this laptop. 1 is an 8GB module which is soldered and cannot be changed. The other is removable and that slot alone, according to another ASUS rep, can only accommodate a 16GB bringing total memory to 24GB (8GB soldered and 16GB in the removable slot). However, some users have successfully inserted a 32GB module in the removable slot bring the total to 40GB (8GB soldered + 32GB removable). I wish the ASUS reps responding to these questions were more straightforward, detailed and honest as theirs answers are very ambiguous.

Q: QuestionIf I connect it to an external gaming monitor, will I be able to get 144 frames per second. Also, will a HDMI splitter able to connect to a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Asked 1 year ago by Raki.

• A:Answer Yes, I'm using a Dell G2724D that's 1440p and 165hz when using DisplayPort, 144hz with HDMI. It works beautifully. Now, will you actually get 100+ FPS in whichever game you're playing? Depends. I can in older stuff like CS:GO and BF3/BF4, but stuff like BF 2042 is hovering around 80 FPS @ 1440p with low settings and DLSS on. This 3050 6GB isn't bad, but don't expect to max out newer games and keep your framerate high. This screen is so beautiful that I think it's actually fine for 1080p/60, so that'll come in handy for games that it chokes on in 1440p. Not sure about the KVM switch, but my USB-C hub works fine aside from not being able to do high refresh rate. This laptop has the ethernet port anyway, so it's null for me.

Q: QuestionThere are moments when this laptop has huge frame drops for like 5-10 minutes and it is almost impossible to run games at even low settings is there a way to fix this issue? I thought this laptop has a 3050 so it could multi task.

Asked 1 year ago by Daniel.

• A:Answer I bought this laptop 5 months ago from Best Buy. It has been a nightmare. The laptop shuts down after 5-10 minutes of gaming (Baldur's Gate 3). Sometimes I can play for 1 hour. The cooling design has issues. The dedicated 3050 video card should be fine. The only way to game more than 5-10 minutes is to unplug the laptop and play on battery which turns on low performance mode (less frames). I've had this laptop repaired by both Best Buy Geek Squad in October 2023 AND Asus Repair Center in December 2023. Nothing has been fixed. Terrible experience for me and I will never buy an Asus laptop again. Good luck to you!

Q: QuestionWhat is the maximum amount of Ram and SSD that can be upgraded?

Asked 2 years ago by Danny.

• A:Answer I normally suggest people search this question in the Questions section, since it is usually already answered. However, since there has been a steady stream of INCORRECT replies, I am making an exception to my policy and answering it again. I looked it up and found you can add a 32GB module in the removable slot bring the total to 40GB (8GB soldered + 32GB removable). Storage can be increased to 4TB M.2. Feel free to do the legwork yourself (for a change) to confirm this.

It comes with an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and 16GB of RAM, which exceeds the minimum and recommended system requirements for the game. You'll have a smooth gaming experience with this setup.
