Memory not upgradable: The 16GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard. However, this amount handles most student and business applications comfortably for the foreseeable future.

Display considerations: The TN panel offers decent viewing for documents and spreadsheets. For photo editing or color-critical work, consider an external IPS monitor.
