FAQs
Is the RAM upgradable, and can I replace or expand the storage?
The 16GB LPDDR4x RAM is soldered onboard and non-upgradable. However, the 512GB NVMe SSD is user-replaceable (via M.2 slot after removing the bottom panel with Torx screws), allowing upgrades to larger capacities like 1TB or 2TB—many owners do this successfully, though it requires care to avoid warranty issues.
Can I use a stylus with it, and is one included?
Yes, it supports active stylus input (MPP 2.0 protocol, such as HP Tilt Pen or compatible Surface Pen/Rechargeable MPP pens). The touchscreen works well for annotations, sketching, or note-taking in tablet mode. No stylus is included in standard configs—you’ll need to purchase one separately.
Does it support an external monitor well, and what resolution can it handle?
Yes, via the two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports (DisplayPort Alt Mode), it supports up to two external 4K displays at 60Hz or one 5K/8K in some configs. HDMI 2.0b adds another option (up to 4K@60Hz). Users commonly connect to 27–32 inch 4K monitors without issues, though performance depends on the workload—light productivity works flawlessly.
How good is the keyboard and trackpad for long typing sessions?
The spill-resistant backlit keyboard with DuraKeys offers comfortable 1.5mm key travel and good tactile feedback, making it suitable for extended typing. The large glass precision trackpad is responsive with smooth multi-touch gestures
