QuestionI see that this laptop has 2 ram slots, if i want to upgrade the ram to 16 gb i have to take both away and put one ram stick of 16gb or buy 2 of 8gb? Also, what kind of ram should i use? Can someone tell me the exact name?
Asked 4 years ago by Gerardo.
- Answer Yes, you would need to remove the 2 4GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM modules to upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You would need to buy 2 X 8GB 3200MHz 1.2v DDR4. There are many brands available. You may wish to check with your local reseller to find the best choice.

Questionwould this laptop be able to do dual monitor either through a dock or through the hdmi out + usb-c? If so, how will that work and will the laptop use the nvidia chip? or if it requires a docking station, will it do dual monitor through the nvidia chip?
Asked 4 years ago by Aqueue.
- Answer Yes you could add 2 external monitors with the USB-C port. You can use a USB dock that has 2 video outputs. Yes it will act like the internal monitor, using the integrated video when the Nvidia graphics are not required and switch to nvidia graphics if the software requires it.

QuestionDoes upgrading RAM memory void warranty? And does this model take up to 16GB RAM or 32GB RAM? We're getting conflicting info.
Asked 4 years ago by M2M.
- Answer Just upgrading the RAM will not void the warranty. But if something gets broken on the laptop while you are upgrading the RAM, that would not be covered. You can install 32 GB of RAM on this model.
