FAQs
Can the RAM be upgraded later?
No. The 16 GB LPDDR5x RAM is soldered directly onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or expanded. If you anticipate needing more than 16 GB in the future (e.g., for heavy video editing or running multiple virtual machines), consider a different model with SO-DIMM slots or higher base RAM.
Is the display good for photo editing or color-critical work?
It’s adequate for casual to intermediate use but not ideal for professionals. The 16-inch IPS panel covers only about 62.5% sRGB (some tests show 58–65%) and reaches 300 nits. Colors look vibrant for everyday tasks, streaming, and light editing, but it lacks the 100% sRGB or wider gamut needed for accurate print or professional creative work.
Is the keyboard and trackpad comfortable for long sessions?
Yes—widely praised in reviews. The full-size backlit keyboard has good key travel (1.5 mm), a crisp feel, and includes a numeric keypad. The large precision touchpad is smooth and accurate, with no noticeable lag or jumping. Many users call it one of the best keyboard/trackpad combos in the mid-range 16-inch category.
