A:AnswerThe post and boot is very fast. I believe the way it is configured is the SSD is for the OS whereas anything other programs run off the HDD. You can of course add things to the SSD instead of the HDD if you chose.
A:AnswerThis model has 2 RAM slots and comes with 1 8GB RAM stick the second slot is open and a second 8GB RAM stick can be easily added. Any size RAM stick can be used as long as it is DDR4 SDRAM.
A:AnswerThere are 10 screws that hold the bottom cover of the laptop on. Upon removing them, you have access to all user-serviceable parts and upgrade areas.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. This model would be able to run Fortnite quite well. I would expect this to run at a solid 60+ FPS on Epic settings with shadows and post processing (lens flares etc...) turned all the way down. You would have no issue with rising far above the no-skins and clutching those Victory Royales!

A:AnswerThe computer won't heat up too badly when doing simple tasks like browsing the internet, the only time a nominal temperature rise will occur is when you are playing a graphically-demanding game or something that will make your computer run harder in general.
A:AnswerWell the main different is the SSD and the NVIDIA GTX1050 TI particularly choose the one with this extra due the advantage that it provide, specially when you start up the OS and better performance for games.
A:AnswerYes, this laptop can play Overwatch. I've been playing it on the laptop for the last week, since I bought it, without any problems in graphics, lag, etc. I have also play League of Legends without any problems either.
A:AnswerI am not sure it would be the Windows Installation. The 1050 can run most games on mid to high settings, are you running a monitoring program like the Omen Command Center to see what may be running at capacity?
