Questions & Answers

Shopper : Like all the specs on this laptop except the HDD. Is there a version of this laptop that comes with a SSD 256 or higher? Also,is 12 GB the max RAM or can it be doubled?JOSH S : I couldn't find one with an SSD, so I bought an SSD separately and swapped out the HDD. 16GB is the max RAM, so I could increase it by 33% later, but for now 12 is plenty. I use it primarily for Photoshop, and don't run out of RAM. I've had this for 2 months, and am very happy with this laptop, and still haven't seen one that looks as good or better for my needs.
